Ingredients

  • 2 (4- 6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pink Himalayan salt
  • ½ lemon, thinly sliced
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups arugula leaves
  • 2 cups mâche leaves (If you can't find mâche, substitute a milder lettuce, such as Boston or red leaf lettuce)
  • Fresh dill, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Rub each salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Top each fillet with a few lemon slices and bake until cooked to your liking, about 20 minutes.
  3. In a salad bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and the extra-virgin olive oil.
  4. Add the arugula and mâche to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat.
  5. Divide the salad between two serving plates. Top each with a salmon fillet and garnish with dill.
