How to Make Crispy Salmon With Herb Salad

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup arugula, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  2. Cover and refrigerate the herb mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mince 1 clove garlic and add to the dressing.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
  5. Season 6 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add salmon to the preheated skillet.
  7. Cook for 9 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Remove the chilled herb salad from the refrigerator. Add the lemon-garlic dressing to the herb mixture.
  9. Gently toss to coat the herbs evenly.
  10. Divide the herb salad evenly among 6 plates (approximately 1/2 cup per plate).
  11. Top each serving of herb salad with a cooked salmon fillet.
  12. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
