Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon
  • 8 cups salad greens
  • 1 large bulb fennel (thinly sliced)
  • 2 medium Avocados (cut into 8ths)
  • 1 large grapefruit (segmented)
  • 2 medium jalapenos (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1/2 medium shallot (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink peppercorn

  1. Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once hot add the salmon skin side down to the pan. Cook 4 minutes until the skin is crispy and the fish easily lifts from the skillet with a spatula. Flip and continue to cook 4-5 minutes for a medium doneness.

  2. For the dressing simply mix all ingredients in a small jar to combine.

  3. Divide the salad greens between four bowls, top with fennel, jalapeno, avocado, and grapefruit segments. Top with salmon and drizzle with dressing to serve.
