Mediterranean salmon salad is a fresh, protein-rich dish made with flaky salmon, crisp vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and a light lemon-olive oil dressing. It is refreshing, satisfying, and perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2–4 salmon fillets
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens or romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for salmon)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dressing)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or dill

Instructions

  1. Season salmon with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano.
  2. Cook salmon in a skillet over medium heat or bake at 200°C (400°F) for 12–15 minutes until flaky and cooked through.
  3. Let salmon rest slightly, then flake into large pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, combine salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives.
  5. Add flaked salmon on top and sprinkle with feta cheese.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano to make the dressing.
  7. Drizzle dressing over the salad.
  8. Gently toss everything together and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cook salmon just until flaky to keep it tender and moist.
  • Keep dressing separate if meal prepping to maintain freshness.
  • Canned salmon can be used as a quick alternative.
  • Add avocado, chickpeas, or grains like quinoa for a heartier meal.
  • Serve warm or cold depending on preference.
