Grilled Salmon Salad Printable Recipe
4 Salmon Fillets
1 Tbsp. Cajun Seasoning (I used Old Bay)
1 Lemon, Juiced and Zested
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Butter
Salad
Mixed Greens (I used kale as it was all I had on hand)
1 Avocado, Thinly Sliced
1 Cup Grape Tomatoes, Halved
1 Orange, Thinly Sliced (feel free to omit)
1/2 Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
Vinaigrette
1 Shallot, roughly chopped
2 Cups Basil
1 Clove of Garlic
1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 Cup olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tsp. Kosher Salt
1/2 Tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Season your salmon fillets generously on both sides with Cajun seasoning, freshly ground black pepper, and lemon zest.
Heat a cast iron pan, add in 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. butter, heat up your orange slices on both sides for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside. In the same pan sear add the remaining olive oil, butter, and sear your salmon fillets for 2 minutes on each side. Add your lemon juice and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove salmon from pan and set aside.
In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients for your vinaigrette together.
Dish out your greens and top with a little bit of vinaigrette, top with salmon, avocado, grape tomatoes, red onion, and orange slices.
Serve and enjoy.
