Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 4 skin-on salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes until flesh flakes easily with a fork but remains moist. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine 6 cups mixed salad greens, 1 large diced avocado, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 medium sliced cucumber.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp honey (optional), and 1/4 tsp black pepper until emulsified.
  5. Step 5: Flake the baked salmon into large chunks and gently fold into the salad.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or portion into meal prep containers.
