Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh baby spinach
- 2 pieces Salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 Red onion
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
Instructions
Season the salmon fillets with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth and well combined.
In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and slivered almonds.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Divide the salad onto two plates or bowls. Top each portion with a cooked salmon fillet.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, healthy dish!
