Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and kale)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup olives (black or green), pitted and sliced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Juice of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and olives. Toss gently to mix the ingredients well.

        Flake the Salmon: Once the salmon has cooled, use a fork to flake the fillets into bite-sized pieces.

          Combine Everything: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure everything is coated. Add the flaked salmon on top of the salad.

            Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill for a burst of color and freshness.

              Serve: Divide the salad into bowls and enjoy your refreshing Lemon & Salmon Salad!
