Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skinless fresh salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, romaine)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillets on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. While the salmon bakes, chop mixed greens, slice cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Combine in a large bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  5. Once the salmon has cooled slightly, flake it into bite-sized pieces over the salad mix.
  6. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
