In a large bowl, whisk together coconut flour, eggs, almond milk, melted butter, baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.
Heat a non stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter into the skillet, cook for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes as they are done.
In a small bowl, toss the avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the dish by placing 2 3 pancakes on each plate, topping them with flaked smoked salmon, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
