Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 6 oz salmon fillet
Salad
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for dressing)
Instructions
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through but still moist.
- Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and sliced avocado. Grate the lemon zest over the salad, and squeeze the lemon juice on top. Add olive oil if using, and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss and Serve: Flake the cooked salmon into large chunks and gently toss it with the salad ingredients. Serve immediately for a fresh, healthy, and flavorful salad.
Notes
- Use wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and nutrition.
- You can add nuts like walnuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrients.
- For a creamier dressing, mix lemon juice with a teaspoon of Greek yogurt or mustard.
- If preferred, cook salmon by baking at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes instead of pan-searing.
