Salmon Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

Lime-infused avocado oil is a helpful shortcut ingredient to have in your kitchen, adding a bright and savory bite to any dish. Lime and cumin are a simple, yet flavorful, duo for this quick-sautéed salmon. And a 3-ingredient dressing brings your everyday salad to life.

Yields: 1 Serving Salmon 

  • 1 4-6 oz. filet of wild-caught salmon
    • 1 t. ground cumin
    • organic garlic salt
    • ground pepper
    • 1 T. Lime-Infused Avocado Oil
    • sesame seeds, for garnish

Lime Vinaigrette 

  • 1 T. Lime-Infused Avocado Oil
    • 1 T. red wine or champagne vinegar
    • ½ t. Dijon mustard
    • Salad greens & veggies of choice
  •  

Directions:

Season all sides of the salmon with 1 t. cumin and garlic salt and pepper, to taste. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add lime avocado oil and salmon. Cook the salmon until brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side for thicker belly pieces and 1-2 minutes per side for tail pieces). Remove from heat and set aside to rest.

Prepare a garden salad with seasonal greens and veggies of your choice. Make the vinaigrette by combining the lime avocado oil, vinegar, and mustard in a small bowl. Whisk together until emulsified. Toss the salad with the dressing. Top with cooked salmon and garnish with sesame seeds, as desired. Enjoy immediately!
