Ingredients

• 400 g fresh salmon fillet
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 100 g mixed salad greens
• 1 medium-sized cucumber
• 4 radishes
• 0.5 red onion
• 2 tbsp fresh dill
• 150 g plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 tbsp capers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.

Step 3

Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. Remove it from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber into half-moons, thinly slice the radishes, and finely slice the red onion.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, remaining 1/2 tsp of salt, and freshly chopped dill to create the dressing.

Step 6

In a large serving bowl or individual plates, arrange the mixed salad greens, cucumber, radishes, and red onion.

Step 7

Once the salmon is cool enough to handle, break it apart into large flakes and distribute it evenly over the salad.

Step 8

Drizzle the yogurt dill dressing over the salad and sprinkle with capers for a tangy finish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Scandinavian Salmon Salad!
