10 mins
Easy
Bring the ocean to your kitchen with this bright, nutrient-dense salmon salad. It balances tender, flaky fish with crisp greens for a meal that leaves you feeling satisfied and energized.
This salmon salad combines omega-3 rich fillets with crunchy garden vegetables and a vibrant lemon-herb dressing. It is a perfect, high-protein meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.
To keep the salmon moist, remove it from the heat just as the translucent center turns opaque. Let it rest for two minutes before serving—it finishes cooking while the juices settle.
