This Mediterranean Salmon Salad is light, healthy, and packed with fresh veggies, herbs, and flaky grilled salmon. Tossed with a lemony vinaigrette, it’s a perfect lunch or dinner option that feels fancy but is super easy to make. Great for meal prep, too!
For the Salmon:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad:
6 cups mixed greens (like romaine, arugula, or spring mix)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley or mint, chopped (optional)
For the Dressing:
3 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush salmon with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Grill salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine greens, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.
Flake the grilled salmon into large chunks and add on top of the salad.
Drizzle with dressing just before serving and toss lightly. Garnish with herbs, if using.
Serve with warm pita or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Make it dairy-free by skipping the feta or using a dairy-free alternative.
Swap grilled chicken or chickpeas for salmon to mix it up!
