Notes

Recipe Notes

Note #1- A standard salmon fillet typically ranges from 5 to 7 ounces, providing a satisfying portion for a single serving.

Note #2- For this recipe I used a combination of romaine, arugula and red leaf lettuce. However, spinach, butter lettuce, baby kale or spring mix would all be delicious options.

Note #3- Seasoning the salmon comes down to a personal preference as it tastes amazing with just a simple sprinkle of slat and pepper. However, here are a few seasoning ideas:

Lemon Pepper– A combination of lemon zest, black pepper, and finely minced parsley.
Dill and Parsley- Dried dill weed, finely minced Italian parsley and garlic powder makes for a savory and fresh addition.
Herbes de Provence– Rosemary, thyme, oregano and basil makes for a flavorful combination of herbs that adds a French touch.
Italian Seasoning– Oregano, basil, garlic powder and parsley not only adds a delicious Italian twist, it also pairs well with other ingredients such as tomatoes, olives and mozzarella.
Greek– Oregano, mint, lemon zest and black pepper adds a unique flavor profile that is both savory and refreshing.

Aim for 1-2 teaspoons total for the 10 ounces of salmon.
