Ingredients

For the Salad
  • 2 center cut salmon fillets about 1” thick and 1.5” wide
  • 2 hearts romaine lettuce chopped (about 5 cups)
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • ½ red onion sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
For the Dressing
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ lemon juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the Salad
  2. Preheat the oven to 400F. 
  3. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season it with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake until it is bright orange and flakey-- about 13-15 minutes for a 1” thick piece of salmon. 
  4. While the salmon bakes, add the rest of the salad ingredients to a large bowl (romaine, avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and croutons). 
  5. Once the salmon is finished, divide the salad between two plates and top with a salmon filet. 
  6. Drizzle with dressing (below) and enjoy immediately.
  7. For the Dressing
  8. Combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
  9. Set aside until ready to use. 

Notes

  • Depending on how much dressing you like, you may have some left over! You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. 
  • I’ve found that sharing one salmon filet is plenty for my family, but if you’d like each person to have their own, increase the number of filets from 2 to 4. 
  • This salad is gluten free without croutons but if you want to add croutons, go for it! They’d be a delicious addition.
