Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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!
