• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.

Step 5

Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 6

Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 7

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad by combining the spring mix lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion slices, and diced avocado in a large bowl.

Step 8

Toss the salad with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing until evenly coated.

Step 9

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 10

Plate the salad onto individual serving dishes and top each plate with a salmon fillet.

Step 11

Garnish with lemon wedges on the side and serve immediately.
