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
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  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.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and feta cheese.
  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.
  7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes for a refreshing cold salad.
