Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2-4 oz salmon fillets
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups baby kale + romaine or spring mix
- 2 cups sweet potato croutons
- ½ avocado sliced
- ¼ cup pickled red onions
- ¼ cup crumbled feta
- 2 Tablespoons pepitas
- Lemon vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
- Make pickled red onions, the lemon vinaigrette dressing and bake your sweet potato croutons.
- Season salmon filets with sea salt and ground pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet (a cast-iron works great) over medium-high heat. Place salmon in pan, skin side up for about 4 minutes or until the flesh is golden brown. Turn and cook until salmon is medium-rare, about 4 more minutes.
- In a salad bowl, toss greens with sweet potato croutons, pickled red onions, feta and pepitas.
- Divide between 2 plates. Top salad with salmon and avocado. Then drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes
- Dairy-free – Feel free to leave of the feta cheese for a dairy-free version.
- Mix-ins – Feel free to switch up your mix-ins for this superfood salad… I often do! Sometimes I change up the veggies based on what I have on hand. Feel free to get creative and make this your own!
- Dressing – I love the lemon vinaigrette dressing I created for this salad but any dressing would work if you’re in a pinch. Some options: creamy balsamic dressing, balsamic vinaigrette, apple cider vinaigrette or white balsamic vinaigrette.
