TOTAL TIME
1
Heat the coconut oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium high heat.
2
Mix together the kosher salt, Mexican seasoning, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. Use this mixture to season the salmon on all sides.
3
Place the salmon filet skin side down in the hot oil.
4
Cook the salmon undisturbed until it is browned and crispy along the bottom edge, and the flesh is opaque about half way up the side of the filet, about 6 minutes.
5
Flip the salmon over and remove the skillet from heat. Let the salmon remain in the skillet; the carry-over heat will continue to cook the salmon to the desired doneness, about 4 minutes more.
6
While the salmon cooks, scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the chopped basil, lime juice, and the remaining salt. Mash until well combined.
7
Serve the cooked salmon topped with the avocado-basil mash and sprinkle with chopped scallions, if desired.
