Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium (sliced) cucumber
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
- 1 large (sliced) avocado
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Brush the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
While the salmon is cooling, prepare the salad by combining the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and avocado in a large bowl.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and the remaining salt and pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
Flake the grilled salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad bowl.
Step 7
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Divide the salad into two servings and serve immediately. Enjoy!
