Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons (fresh, chopped) dill
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 6 cups (chopped) romaine lettuce
- 1 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium (sliced) cucumber
- 1 small (thinly sliced) red onion
- 1 large (sliced) avocado
- 2 tablespoons capers

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with half of the salt and pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Step 3
Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, dill, Greek yogurt, and the remaining salt and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and capers.
Step 6
Once the salmon has cooled slightly, flake it into large chunks and add it to the salad.
Step 7
Drizzle the lemon-dill vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Top the salad with sliced avocado, and serve immediately for a fresh and healthy meal.
