This is a wonderful Salmon recipe. It’s filling enough to be served at dinner, but light enough to have for lunch. The flavor combination of the fresh vegetables and lemony Salmon are delicious, and it is Perfectly Imperfect with the Dill Dijon Vinaigrette!!
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
SERVINGS: 4
ingredients
- 1 4oz Filet of Salmon per person
- Avocado Oil*
- juice of 1 Lemon
- 1 English Cucumber (thinly sliced)**
- 2 cups Grape Tomatoes (halved)***
- 1 lb Asparagus (cut into 1 in. pieces) and blanched****
- Fresh Spinach Leaves
- Dill Dijon Vinaigrette
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Micro Greens (optional)
*I use Avocado Oil as a healthy choice for high heat oils. However, use Canola or Vegetable Oils if that is what you have on hand.
**I prefer English Cucumbers because they are seedless. If you are using a regular Cucumber I recommend using 2 since they are typically smaller.
***I used multi colored Tomatoes because I enjoy the variety of flavors between them in a dish. Any type of Tomato can be used based on your preference.
****To blanch the Asparagus, boil water in a pan. Once boiling heavily season with Salt. Add the Asparagus and boil for 2 minutes. Then remove and place directly into an ice bath.
instructions
- Cover Broiler pan with Aluminum Foil and place Salmon Skin side up. Place pan under the Broiler about 5 in. away from the flame.
- Broil for about 4 minutes. Pull the pan out and flip the Salmon over. Drizzle with Oil and 1/2 Lemon and season with Salt and Pepper.
- Place back under the broiler and cook another 4 minutes. Squeeze other 1/2 Lemon, remove the skin, and slice.
- Lay Spinach leaves on a platter. Top with Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Asparagus, and Micro Greens. Season with Salt and Pepper and Salmon.
- Toss with Dill Dijon Vinaigrette and ENJOY!!

You are so welcome! I love using my broiler for as much as I can because with a sheet of aluminum foil, there is no mess or cleanup!!
Sounds yummy.
