Ingredients

• 4 ounces salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 0.25 red onion
• 0.25 cups feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over it.

Step 3

Sprinkle the salmon with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place it on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

Step 4

Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion into rings.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.

Step 7

To make the dressing, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, and extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

Flake the roasted salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad bowl, along with the crumbled feta cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
