📝 Ingredients

• 500 g (1lb) salmon fillets
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 tsbp lemon juice
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 8 cups lettuce
• 2-3 cups chopped cucumber ((approximately 1 large English cucumber)
• 2-3 cups tomatoes (chopped )
• 1 red onion (finely sliced )
• 1 cup Kalamata olives
• 1 cup Feta cheese (cubed )
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp lemon juice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and a generous squeeze of lemon juice then season with a teaspoon of garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
2. 2Rub the seasoning into the salmon fillets.
3. 3Heat a large, non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
4. 4Place salmon, skin-side down, and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and the salmon is starting to turn white around the edges.
5. 5Gently flip each fillet over and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your preference.
6. 6Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
7. 7Place the lettuce into a large serving bowl or platter. Slice the cucumber (if using English cucumbers, I would suggest peeling and deseeding before slicing) and add to the lettuce. Chop the tomatoes and add to the salad.
8. 8Cube the feta cheese and add along with the Kalamata olives. Finally, thinly slice the red onion. Add the salmon fillets to the top of the salad.
9. 9To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately.
