Halve the avocado. Make thin slices lengthwise (all the way through
the bloom end, or do you leave it intact at that end?) and fan these
slices out upon the salmon. The fanning sounds like the same sort of
thing that's sometimes done with strawberries (although those are
usually left intact at the stem end.)

Peeling first might be a good idea.
