Preparation
Step 1
Arrange lemon rounds on bottom of a bamboo steamer basket. Season salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, dividing evenly. Place salmon on top of lemon rounds, and cover with steamer lid.
Step 2
Bring about 1 inch of water to a simmer in a large skillet. Place steamer basket in skillet, and steam until fish is opaque throughout, about 7 minutes.
Step 3
Cut avocado in half lengthwise, and remove pit; peel and thinly slice. Arrange avocado and salmon on plates. Season salmon with more salt, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
