To create the incredible Crispy Salmon with Avocado Cucumber Salsa, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Salsa Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and honey if using. Mix gently and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

4. Cook the Salmon: Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp up.

5. Flip the Salmon: Using a spatula, flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

6. Remove from Heat: Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

7. Serve: Plate the crispy salmon and spoon the avocado cucumber salsa generously over the top.

8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes for added heat.
