This vibrant salad features perfectly flaky oven-roasted salmon paired with creamy avocado slices and crisp mixed greens. Tossed in a zesty homemade lemon-dill vinaigrette, it offers a refreshing and nutritious meal that feels gourmet but is ready in under 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
While the salmon roasts, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced cucumber, and red onion. Pour half of the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
Divide the salad mixture onto two serving plates.
Top each salad with a warm roasted salmon fillet and the fresh avocado slices.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salmon and avocado, then serve immediately.
