Okay, get yourself ready for one incredible salad recipe! This is not your typical boring recipe! My avocado salmon salad will knock your socks off! I cannot say enough about how good this salad is! Plus, it’s super easy to make and you can have it ready in under 30 minutes! If you love salmon, you have to try this salad immediately.

So what makes this avocado salmon salad recipe extraordinary?! All the amazing ingredients! For this salad, I season HUGE chunks of wild salmon with smoked paprika (my favorite spice), a little bit of basil and loads of fresh dill, which adds incredible flavor. The salmon chunks are then seared in olive oil to perfection. Now, I like to remove the skin off my fish as a personal preference but feel free to leave it on if you feel like it!

For the salad part of this recipe, I used crispy and crunchy romaine lettuce and loaded it up with TONS of avocado. The avocado is essential to this dish, making everything super creamy. I also added a bit of corn for some sweetness. And to bring it all together, the salad is dressed with green goddess dressing. If you haven’t tried this dressing before, go out and get some! You’ll thank me later! It’s a creamy and sweet dressing with a kick of zestiness and complexity.

For all the recipe details, make sure to watch my video recipe.

Ingredients

2 pound salmon fillet
Salt and ground black pepper
smoked paprika, about 1/2 teaspoon
dried basil, about 1/2 teaspoon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
8 to 10 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
1 large avocado, chopped
1/2 cup canned corn
1/4 to 1/3 cup Green Goddess dressing

Instructions

Prepare the salmon first. Using kitchen tweezers, remove any bones. Then, using a sharp knife, remove the skin (watch my video recipe for details). To portion the fish, first slice it lengthwise, then across to make large cubes. Transfer the salmon into a large bowl.
Season the salmon with a generous amount of salt and ground black pepper. Add the remaining seasonings and gently toss the salmon to coat it in the seasonings. Preheat a large, non-stick frying pan and add a drizzle of olive oil. Fry the salmon in small batches and avoid overcrowding the pan! Fry the salmon for a few minutes on each side, turning when a nice golden sear forms.
Remove salmon onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Keep warm.
For the salad, simple toss together the romaine lettuce, corn, chopped avocado and Green Goddess salad dressing.
To serve, simply place 6 to 8 pieces of salmon on top of a generous plate of salad. I recommend serving the salmon warm for best taste.
