Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 cups mixed salad greens (like romaine, butter lettuce, or baby spinach)
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 strips cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (or feta if preferred)
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- Your favorite dressing (ranch, blue cheese, or a simple vinaigrette)
Instructions
- Cook the Salmon:
Season salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook salmon for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky. Let it rest, then flake into large chunks. - Prepare the Salad Base:
Arrange the salad greens on a large platter or in a big salad bowl. - Add the Toppings:
Neatly arrange the flaked salmon, eggs, cherry tomatoes, avocado, bacon, blue cheese, red onion, and cucumber in rows or clusters over the greens. - Dress & Serve:
Drizzle with your favorite dressing just before serving or serve the dressing on the side. - Enjoy:
Toss gently if desired, or let everyone serve themselves!
