• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture, ensuring the flesh side is well coated.

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this dressing over the cucumber salad and toss to coat.
