Avocado Salmon Salad
Description
The dish centers on salmon filets seasoned lightly with salt and pepper and cooked in olive oil to a safe internal temperature while remaining moist and tender. The fresh greens and vegetables contribute crispness and color, while the creamy avocado and salty feta cheese add richness and balance. The homemade dressing combines lemon juice, rice vinegar, canola oil, honey, and fresh dill to bring a fresh and mildly sweet acidity that complements the salmon’s flavor.
Served in bowls with the salmon placed on top of the mixed salad components, this salad works well for casual lunches or light dinners. Additional lemon wedges offered allow diners to adjust acidity to taste. The dressing can be prepared ahead for convenience.
