Grilled Salmon Salad with Avocado Cucumber Salsa
Grilled Salmon Salad with Avocado Cucumber Salsa
An easy, healthy and tasty summer meal that combines salmon fillets rubbed with chili powder and cumin, then seared to perfection on a hot grill. They are placed over butter lettuce, or baby romaine tossed in a zesty, creamy yogurt-based cilantro lime dressing, then topped with a cool avocado cucumber salsa.
Ingredients
Spiced Salmon
- 4 6oz salmon filets
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- lime for garnish
Avocado Salsa
- 1 avocado, dived (ripe, but slightly firm)
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- lime juice and zest
- 3 tsp Trattore Farms Healdsburg Blend extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Creamy Yogurt Dressing
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- lime juice from one small lime
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp Trattore Farms Healdsburg Blend extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Salad Ingredients
- 3-4 heads of butter lettuce or baby romaine (1 head per person)
Instructions
Salmon
- Preheat the grill to medium
- In a small bowl, make the spice rub -mix salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Rub all sides of salmon with the spice rub.
- Grill salmon over medium heat on a well-greased grill for a few minutes on each side until the desired (preferably medium or medium-rare). A thin metal spatula is best here to turn. Squeeze with a bit of lime juice.
Salsa
- Mix all ingredients except avocado in a medium bowl. Gently fold in avocado last, so it stays intact, and don’t over mix; you don’t want it mushy.
Dressing
- Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Quarter lettuce vertically. Set aside.
Assemble
- Toss lettuce gently with a bit of dressing, just enough to coat. Lay on a plate, creating a bed for the salmon. Place salmon over the top, then spoon the avocado salsa over the top. Serve with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs.
