Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 small Plum tomatoes
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the salmon fillets with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
While the salmon cools, slice the plum tomatoes into halves and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until well combined. Add the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and mix well to create the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, plum tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
Drizzle half of the dressing over the salad greens and toss gently to coat.
Flake the salmon into large chunks and arrange it over the salad.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and vibrant salmon and plum tomato salad!
