Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season the salmon fillet with 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper. Heat 1/2 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the salmon and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until edges are golden and flakes easily.
  2. Step 2: While salmon cooks, place mixed greens in a bowl. Add sliced avocado, chopped cucumber, and lemon juice. Toss gently with remaining 1/2 tsp olive oil until avocado is evenly distributed and greens are lightly dressed.
  3. Step 3: Transfer cooked salmon to the bowl. Drizzle with any remaining lemon juice and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the salmon is fully coated.
