Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with tinfoil. Lightly spray with cooking spray before placing the salmon filets on the foil.
Dab the salmon with a paper towel to remove excess oils. Use your fingers to lightly rub the seasoning onto the salmon. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145°F.
While the salmon is cooking, whisk together the dressing ingredients in a bowl or liquid measuring cup. Alternatively, shake everything in a mason jar.
Prep the fresh ingredients. Wash all produce and let dry. Slice and dice the feta cheese block into small cubes, diced red onion, and strawberries.
In a large bowl, add arugula and half of the dressing. Massage together to wilt the arugula a bit. Top with creamy feta cheese, red onion, mint, sweet berries, and pepita seeds.
Add cooked salmon, strawberries, and avocado to the salad. Toss together. If you prefer, serve the salmon on the side of the salad. Utilize the extra dressing as needed. Enjoy your perfect summer salad!

Notes

This salad is best fresh and doesn’t hold up well for an extended period of time. I don’t recommend this salad for meal prep. You can prep the dressing in advance and store in a glass jar, chop onion and clean the berries to expedite prep time, but keep everything separate until ready to enjoy.
