Ingredients
For the salad
- 1 pound salmon fillets 3-4 ounces each
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup cucumber quartered and sliced
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives halved
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh dill minced
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted and sliced
For the dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Heat the 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large pan over high heat.
- Add the salmon and cook for 4-6 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through.
- While the salmon is cooking, place the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives, red onion, feta, dill and bell pepper in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine. Arrange the avocado over the top.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing.
- Let the salmon cool for 5-7 minutes. Place the salmon fillets over the lettuce mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, then serve.
Notes
- This salad tastes best with fresh, wild-caught salmon if you have that available in your local store. I’ve also made it with Atlantic farmed salmon with great results. In a pinch, you could use frozen or canned salmon.
- You can serve the salad with whole fillets over the top as shown in the photos, or you can cut your salmon fillets into smaller bite sized pieces before you cook them.
