Method

For the Blackened Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the spice rub.

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the top and sides of each fillet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Salmon

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.

For the Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is cooking, wash and chop the mixed greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it.

  2. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Top the salad with the blackened salmon fillets, and serve immediately.
