Instructions
Creating the Greek Salmon Salad with Lemon Dressing is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) for cooking the salmon.
2. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. While Salmon is Baking: In a large mixing bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until well-combined.
6. Dress the Salad: Pour the lemon dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
7. Remove Salmon from Oven: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into large pieces.
8. Assemble the Salad: Divide the salad onto separate plates or a large serving platter. Top with the flaked salmon.
9. Serve: Enjoy your Greek Salmon Salad with Lemon Dressing immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
