Ingredients
Scale
- juice of one lemon
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb salmon fillet
- 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs hard boiled, cut into quarters
- 2 hearts of romaine roughly chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 seedless cucumber sliced
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 3 scallions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the salmon fillet on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Ensure the bacon is cooked and the eggs are hard-boiled. For the dressing, whisk the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl, or shake in a mason jar for storage.
- In a large bowl, layer the chopped romaine, followed by the tomatoes, crumbled bacon, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and cucumber. Flake the baked salmon over the salad, and then slice the avocado and add it on top. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with sliced scallions. Before serving, give the dressing a shake and drizzle it over the salad.
