Ingredients
  

  • 2 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens e.g., spinach, arugula, romaine
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cucumber sliced

  • 1 avocado diced

Method

  2. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

  5. Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
