Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium (sliced) Cucumber
• 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season them with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 3

Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad base by combining the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill to make the dressing.

Step 6

Once the salmon has cooled enough to handle, flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork.

Step 7

Divide the salad greens mixture onto two plates. Top each salad with flaked salmon, crumbled feta cheese, and drizzle the lemon-dill dressing evenly over both plates.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy salmon salad!
