Grilled Salmon Salad with Lemon Herb Dressing

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Brush the salmon fillets lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

3. 3

   While the salmon is grilling, prepare the salad base. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.

4. 4

   For the lemon herb dressing, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for 2-3 minutes, then break it into large flakes.

6. 6

   Divide the salad mixture among 4 plates. Top each salad with flaked grilled salmon and sliced avocado.

7. 7

   Drizzle the lemon herb dressing over each salad just before serving. Serve immediately while the salmon is still warm.
