Strawberry Salmon Salad

I’ve been making this same salad since my college days! I absolutely love the combination of salmon and strawberries. If you’ve never tried it, please do! The two go perfectly together, especially with the crunch of toasted sliced almonds and the saltiness of Feta cheese. It’s a perfect summer salad that’s as delicious as it is good for you!

This also happens to be the way I cook salmon most weeknights, though it’s never appeared on The Rose Table! (Whoops.) Look at that gorgeous crust that forms. The skin gets nice and crispy and it’s perfectly cooked on the inside. It’s just perfect! Note: if you have a larger slice of salmon (I prefer eating and cooking 4 oz pieces), you’ll need to cook the salmon a bit longer.

I swear, I make a variation of this nearly every week for dinner. I don’t have quantities on this recipe because that’s how I roll with salad. Just eyeball it! This salad is easy enough for a weeknight dinner for one, or elegant enough to serve guests. I love recipes like that!

Flip and cook for another two minutes over medium heat, then lower the heat and cook for about two or three more minutes, until cooked through.
