Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Salmon fillet
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 cups Baby spinach
• 1.5 cups (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Brush the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey to make the lemon vinaigrette. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, add the baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 6

Break the grilled salmon into large chunks and add to the salad bowl.

Step 7

Drizzle the salad with the lemon vinaigrette and gently toss to combine.
