Ingredients
Directions
LEMONY-DIJON DRESSING
1
In a measuring cup, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in 6 tablespoons of olive oil, whisking constantly to create a smooth, emulsified dressing.
CRISPY SALMON SALAD
2
Season the salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are no longer translucent but still moist in the center.
3
Place 2 cups of mixed greens on each of four plates. Arrange the grape tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion slices over the greens. Top each salad with a piece of crispy salmon.
4
Drizzle each salad with the desired amount of Lemony-Dijon Dressing and serve immediately.
