Ingredients

Marinade / Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound skinless salmon fillets
Salad
  • 4 cups Romaine lettuce or Cos lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives or black olives, sliced (optional)
  • 3 lemon wedges, for serving
 

Instructions

  1. In a large jug, whisk together all of the marinade/dressing ingredients. Pour half of the mixture into a large, shallow dish and refrigerate the remaining marinade to use later as the dressing.
  2. Add the salmon to the marinade, coating it well. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon on both sides until crispy and cooked to your preference.
  3. While the salmon cooks, combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
  4. Slice the cooked salmon and place it over the salad. Drizzle with the reserved, untouched dressing and serve with lemon wedges.
