Instructions
- Cook Salmon: Pat salmon fillets with paper towel. Generously cover fillets in Greek seasonings and herbs. Press the seasoning into the salmon, set aside. Heat cast iron skillet on stovetop and allow to warm for about one minute on medium-high heat. Add about one tablespoon of oil to skillet once heated. Once the skillet has heated, place seasoned salmon skin side up, seasoned side down. Cover pan with lid and cook the salmon this way for 3 minutes (I set a timer so I don't forget) then gently flip the salmon with a spatula to cook skin side down, about another 3 minutes, covered. Watch here to make sure you don't over-cook the salmon. The salmon will be done when easily flaked with a fork. Also note: the thinner the salmon fillet, the faster it cooks. I used about 1" thick fillets.
- Make dressing: While the salmon is finishing cooking, mix salad dressing ingredients in bowl and whisk until combined.
- Assemble salad: Start plating your salad with about 3 cups of greens per plate, then the salmon fillet, and evenly distribute the rest of the toppings: artichokes, cucumbers, red onion, black olives, tomatoes, feta, and sliced pita bread. Serve with dressing and enjoy!
