This simple salmon salad is a healthy summer lunch or dinner option. Skin-on salmon grills up in just a few minutes before topping creamy salad for an easy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillets (4 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 green onions, divided
- ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 heads butter lettuce, chopped
Steps
- Heat grill or grill pan to medium. Brush salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon skin-side up on grill. Cook until salmon has grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn and continue grilling until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
- In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, 3 green onions, Greek yogurt, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Chop remaining green onion. To a large serving bowl, add green onion and chopped lettuce. Season with salt and pepper. Toss cilantro dressing with salad. Top with salmon, breaking up into pieces if desired.
