Instructions
Salmon
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil, just enough to coat, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and easily flaked. Cooking time will vary on the thickness of the salmon. Remove the salmon from the oven and give it a nice squeeze of fresh lemon juice, optional. Lightly flake with a fork into bite-size chunks and set aside to slightly cool.
Salad
- In a large serving bowl or platter, add romaine, radishes, cucumbers, avocado, croutons, and green onions. Top with the flaked salmon, dill, and basil. Serve with Cilantro Vinaigrette drizzled on top.
