Heat the avocado oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet (12-inch skillet recommended) over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle salmon fillets with sea salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Carefully place flesh-side down on the hot skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the sides begin turning opaque. Carefully flip to the other side and cook another 2 minutes. If necessary, turn heat down to medium or medium-low.

Add the remaining ingredients (garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice and parsley) and stir.

Cover skillet and cook an additional 2 to 5 minutes, until salmon reaches desired done-ness. Serve salmon with favorite side dishes and enjoy!
