Grilled Salmon Spinach Salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish perfect for a healthy lunch or light dinner. This salad combines the richness of grilled salmon with the crispness of fresh spinach, crunchy vegetables, and a tangy dressing. The salmon is marinated in a смесь of herbs and spices, then grilled until cooked through and flaky. The spinach salad is tossed with a light vinaigrette dressing, and topped with grilled salmon, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. This salad is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins.
The article also includes recipes for a Creamy Avocado Dressing, a Lemon-Tahini Dressing, and a Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing. These dressings are all delicious and versatile, and can be used on a variety of salads, not just the Grilled Salmon Spinach Salad. The Creamy Avocado Dressing is a rich and creamy dressing made with avocado, sour cream, and lime juice. The Lemon-Tahini Dressing is a tangy and flavorful dressing made with lemon juice, tahini, and honey. The Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing is a classic vinaigrette dressing made with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard.
SPINACH SALAD WITH GRILLED SALMON AND STRAWBERRIES
This beautiful salad is delicious and nutritious, too! Grilled salmon is combined with fresh spinach, red bell pepper, fresh mushrooms, and fresh strawberries. Garnished with chopped pecans and a bit of crumbled bacon--leave out the bacon, if you must. I justify it because there is no added sugar in the vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for the vinaigrette. Stir briskly to combine.
- Brush salmon with 1 teaspoon of the vinaigrette on the cut side, and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette.
- Clean the grates of an outdoor grill and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place the salmon on a grilling mat or fish grill basket on the hot grill, skin side down. Grill for about 10 minutes. Using a turner, carefully flip the salmon, or turn the grill basket, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more. Salmon should flake easily with a fork when done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Transfer salmon to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest while preparing the salad.
- Combine spinach, red bell pepper, mushrooms, strawberries, and reserved vinaigrette in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Remove skin from salmon and flake.
- Divide salad among individual plates, top with flaked salmon, and garnish with chopped pecans and crumbled bacon.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon fillet you can find. Look for a fillet that is firm to the touch, with bright pink or orange flesh. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a fishy odor.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a fruity flavor that will complement the salmon. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use a regular olive oil.
- Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the salmon over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon with a simple salad. A spinach salad with a lemon-tahini dressing is a great option. You can also serve the salmon with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect salmon fillet every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give grilled salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
