Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium, 350 to 400°F.
- Place the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the oil, red wine vinegar, honey, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk well. Then brush the marinade over the salmon pieces.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the salad dressing: sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, fresh thyme, garlic powder. Whisk well and taste. Salt and pepper as needed.
- Once the grill is hot, place the salmon top-side-down on the grates. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Then carefully flip the salmon onto the skin side. Grill another 3 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove the salmon from the grill and allow it to cool.
- Meanwhile, chop all the fresh produce for the salad.
- Once the salmon has cooled enough to handle, peel off the skin and discard. Then break the salmon fillets into large bite-size chunks.
- On a large platter (or four individual plates) arrange the arugula, salmon chunks, avocado slices, bell pepper slices, cherry tomatoes, radishes, and scallions. Place a large dollop of creamy salad dressing in the center of each salad and serve.
Notes
- The salmon can be served slightly warm, room temperature, or cold. This salad can be prepared up to a day in advance. Keep the salad dressing separate until ready to serve.
