Salmon Avocado Salad
Description
The Salmon Avocado Salad combines broiled wild salmon fillets seasoned lightly with Dijon mustard, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. The fish is cooked until just done and then placed atop a vibrant salad made of chopped romaine lettuce, shredded red cabbage, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado. A dressing is made by marinating red onion with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon, garlic powder, and seasonings, which softens the onion's sharpness. The salad is tossed with the dressing before adding the salmon, providing a balance of creamy, fresh, and tangy flavors along with varied textures from crisp vegetables and tender fish.
Ingredients
- 4 wild salmon 4 oz each, fillets
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (divided)
- 3/4 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, fresh
- 1/4 cup onion red, chopped
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (recommend: Braggs)
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- 8 ounces avocado (diced (from 2 small))
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 1/2 cups red cabbage (shredded)
Instructions
- Season salmon with 2 teaspoons of the Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Adjust the oven on the second rack. Broil salmon 6 to 7 minutes, until cooked through.
- In a large bowl, combine the red onion with olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon remaining Dijon, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste; let it sit about 5 minutes, so the flavor of the onion mellows.
- Add the tomatoes, avocado and toss. When ready to serve, toss in chopped lettuce and cabbage, finish with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar, taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed.
- Divide the salad in 4 bowls and top each with salmon.
