Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium, sliced cucumber
- 1 small, thinly sliced red onion
- 1 large, diced avocado
- 0.5 cup, crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then, season them evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the hot grill, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, diced avocado, and crumbled feta cheese.
Flake the grilled salmon into large chunks and arrange them on top of the salad.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Salmon Salad!
