Prepare the smoked eel and potatoes: Slice the smoked eel and set aside. Wash the potatoes, cut larger ones for uniformity, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and steam, then slice.
Fry potatoes: Heat olive oil in a pan, and fry the potato slices until golden on both sides.
Make dressing: In a blender or mortar, combine coriander, capers, lemon, and olive oil to create a paste. Season to taste.
Assemble salad: Peel and slice avocados. Arrange with eel and potatoes on a plate. Drizzle with coriander dressing or serve it on the side with extra smoked sea salt.
