Arugula Grilled Salmon and Avocado Salad

Ingredients

Salmon fillets

4 (6 oz each)

Olive oil

3 tablespoons

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Arugula

5 cups, washed and dried

Avocado

2, sliced

Cherry tomatoes

1 cup, halved

Red onion

1/2, thinly sliced

Balsamic vinegar

3 tablespoons

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a simple marinade.
3. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the marinade, allowing them to soak in the flavors while the grill heats.
4. Place the salmon on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
5. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to seal in the juices.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Gently toss the ingredients to combine, taking care not to mash the avocados.
7. Drizzle the salad with balsamic vinegar and toss again to coat the ingredients evenly.
8. Divide the salad onto individual plates and top each with a grilled salmon fillet.
9. Serve immediately and savor the delicious medley of flavors and textures!
