Salmon And Salad

Ingredients

To whip up this masterpiece, gather these fabulous ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (fresh or frozen, we don’t judge)
  • 4 cups of mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, or whatever greens tickle your fancy)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (like happy little jewels)
  • 1 cucumber, sliced (for that crunch factor)
  • 1 avocado, diced (because avocado makes everything better)
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced (for a hint of punch)
  • Olive oil (a drizzle of liquid gold)
  • Juice of 1 lemon (the zesty twist)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (the classic combo)

Instructions

Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking!

  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. If you’re using frozen salmon, make sure to thaw it first. You want it fresh, not a popsicle!
  2. Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let them soak up that flavor like they’re prepping for a sunbathing session!
  3. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it’s flaky and cooked through. Keep an eye on it, no one likes a burnt salmon!
  4. While the salmon is sizzling away, get your salad greens ready in a large bowl. Toss in the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion—imagine you’re tossing confetti!
  5. Once the salmon is ready, flake it into large pieces and toss it on top of your salad. Show it off like a proud parent!
  6. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Give it a gentle toss, and voilà!

Serve this scrumptious salad fresh and watch it disappear faster than a magician’s rabbit! Enjoy the mix of flavors and textures, ensuring every bite is a little party for your taste buds. Bon appétit!
