Servings: 4

Ingredients

Cape salmon fillets (4 fillets)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Honey (1 tablespoon)
Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Red onion (1/2, thinly sliced)
Cucumber (1, diced)
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Mixed salad greens (6 cups)

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring grates are clean and lightly oiled.
Season the Cape salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your liking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to create a creamy vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are well coated.
Once the salmon is grilled, place the fillets on top of the salad and serve immediately for a fresh, delightful meal.
