Avocado Butter:
On a cutting board, mince garlic; sprinkle with salt. Using the flat side of a knife, smash garlic into a paste.
Peel and pit avocados; scoop into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add garlic paste, lemon juice, oil, parsley and about 1/4 t. salt; blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides with a silicone spatula, as needed. Taste; adjust seasonings. Transfer avocado butter to a small bowl; set aside.
Grilled Salmon:
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high. Using a silicone pastry brush, coat grill with oil. Brush salmon fillets with oil; season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place salmon fillets, skin side up, on grill; cook 3 - 4 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully flip the fillets; grill until still slightly pink in the center and flaking around the edges, about 2 - 3 minutes.
Serve on a serving dish or plates; spread a thick layer of avocado butter over the tops. Garnish with a liberal dusting of sumac and sliced basil.
