How to Make Warm Salmon Salad A La Provencal

  1. Preheat broiler to high or prepare your grill.
  2. Season two 6-ounce salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Lightly coat a broiler pan or grill grates with cooking spray. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared pan/grates.
  4. Broil for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, cook for 6-8 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the salmon from the heat and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, remove the skin and break the salmon into 1-inch chunks.
  6. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups mixed salad greens, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 2 tablespoons capers.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  8. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  9. Divide the salad evenly among four plates.
  10. Divide the salmon chunks evenly among the salads.
  11. Top each salad with 1 tablespoon of pitted Kalamata olives.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
