Juice of 1 lemon

Wash vegetables thoroughly. Slice cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Cook salmon skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes until crispy; flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
