Grilled Salmon & Avocado Salad



     From the presentation, to the colors, to the flavor variety, this salad is a twist on your usual salads and will leave you satisfied with every bite!

Ingredients:
  • 8-10oz salmon filet
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1 lemon for zest and juice
  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup celery, sliced
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 large avocado
  • 2 tsp lemon pepper
     Begin by coating the salmon filet with cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Place onto a hot grill and cook for about 4 minutes on each side.

     In a small bowl, add the celery, onion, dijon mustard, sour cream, juice from half the lemon, arugula, and lemon pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.

     Once the salmon has finished cooking, take a fork and shred it. Add the shredded salmon to the salad and mix once again.

     For a beautiful presentation, take half of an avocado, place the salad on top, and you're ready to serve. You can also cut up the avocado, add it to the top of the salad, and serve in a bowl.

Enjoy!
