I love a good Greek salad with a vibrant lemon vinaigrette and salmon is one of my favorite dinners, so why not put the two together? I eat so many chicken salads but I decided it was time to switch things up and use a different kind of protein. If you’d like of course you could still use chicken with this recipe for a cheaper alternative (it will need to cook longer), but for a little splurge, salmon is where it’s at with this recipe! To be honest I think it was the first time I’ve eaten a salmon salad. I eat salmon all the time but I’ve never really added it directly to my salad, I know I need to get out more. I loved it though, and I’m sure I will do it again and again! Add this salmon recipe to your list if you love fish or need to watch your diet.
Many salmon filets are dried out with a bake in the oven, so I love the juicy and flaky texture of this grilled salmon. Don’t get me wrong—I love a sheet pan salmon! But this quick panini, large skillet, or grill option is a fast way to get your omega-3 fatty acids and nutrients. Use a meat thermometer to be sure you’re cooking to healthy standards. Fresh herbs are another way to really upgrade your new recipe—traditional dill and mint are great for Greek dishes, but fresh basil is another good addition. This is the perfect summer salad! I love how well all the flavors of each ingredient blend together in the dish. All the fresh veggies with a Lemon Dill Vinaigrette and a heart-healthy salmon fillet are a wonderful combination. (A good tzatziki sauce would be amazing, too!) This salad is packed with goodness and it’s an entree I’ll definitely want to make again!
