  1. First, make the salsa. Preheat the broiler. Add the chiles, peppers, and garlic onto a baking sheet until the skin begins to blister. Place in a large mixing bowl and cover with plastic for about 10 minutes, then remove the skin.
  2. Place the chiles, peppers, and garlic into a mortar and pestle with half the cumin seeds and a pinch of salt and grind until smooth.
  3. Once smooth, add in the tomatillos.
  4. Add in the green onion, cilantro, oregano, and lime juice and set aside.
  5. Prepare the salmon. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, add in the avocado oil and sprinkle in the remaining cumin seeds.
  6. Place the salmon skin side down and cook until skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  7. Plate the salmon and spoon salsa over the filet. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
