– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 2 teaspoons lemon zest
– 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
– 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (chopped)
– 1 teaspoon fresh dill (chopped)
– Salt and pepper (to taste)
– 8 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, and romaine)

– ¼ red onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions

Creating your Lemon-Herb Roasted Salmon Salad is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.

2. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.

3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

4. Roast the Salmon: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven. Roast the salmon for 15-25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

5. Prepare Salad Base: While the salmon is roasting, assemble the salad greens in a large bowl. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion.

6. Toss the Salad: Gently toss the salad ingredients with your hands or tongs to combine.

7. Check the Salmon: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.

8. Flake the Salmon: Use a fork to flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.

9. Combine Ingredients: Add the flaked salmon on top of the salad and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if desired.

10. Serve: Garnish the salad with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an additional burst of flavor.

With these steps, your Lemon-Herb Roasted Salmon Salad will be ready to devour, showcasing crispy greens and perfectly roasted salmon.
