Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the salmon:

  • 4 (6 oz.) salmon filets
  • ½ cup prepared BBQ sauce

For the salads:

  • 1 (6 oz.) bag mixed spring greens
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved if large
  • ½ cup sliced red onion
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Salad dressing of choice (see notes)

Instructions

  • Make the salmon. Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean up. Place salmon on baking sheet and brush each filet with about 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Bake salmon for 10-15 minutes or until desired doneness (it will depend on the thickness of your salmon).
  • Meanwhile, prep the salads. Divide the greens among 4 bowls. Top with sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion and avocado.
  • Once the salmon is cooked, remove the skin and divide among the salads.
  • Drizzle the salads with dressing of choice and enjoy!

Notes

Salmon: I usually broil my salmon, but you could also grill it if you’d like. You can prep the salmon ahead of time or let it cool and serve it chilled or at room temperature, instead of warm, if you prefer.
Greens: Mixed greens are my go-to for this salad, but you could substitute another type of salad mix, such as baby spinach.
Red onion: I love red onion raw, but some people aren’t a fan. You can skip it or take out some of the bite by soaking the chopped onion in a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes. Drain, pat dry and it's ready to use..
Salad dressing: Use your favorite dressing here. Sometimes we do Ranch and sometimes I make my easy creamy cilantro lime dressing. A green goddess dressing would be good here, too.
