Ingredients

Salmon fillets (2 (6-ounce fillets))
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Cucumber (1, sliced)
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Red onion (1/4, thinly sliced)
Mixed greens (4 cups)
Kiwi (2, peeled and sliced)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it cool slightly before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced kiwi, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to create a zesty dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Add the flaked grilled salmon on top of the salad and toss gently again to incorporate.
Serve the kiwi and salmon salad immediately for the freshest taste.
