Follow these simple steps to create an incredible Grilled Salmon Salad:
1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Season the Salmon: Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crisp. Carefully flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
4. Mix the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado.
5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. Combine the Salad and Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
7. Serve the Salad: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, flake it into bite-sized pieces on top of the salad or serve it whole.
8. Garnish: Top with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
