Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Spring mix lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad by combining the spring mix lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion slices, and diced avocado in a large bowl.
Toss the salad with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing until evenly coated.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Plate the salad onto individual serving dishes and top each plate with a salmon fillet.
Garnish with lemon wedges on the side and serve immediately.
