15-Minute Spicy Harissa Salmon Salad
5 mins prepServes 1
A quick and healthy lunch featuring a seasoned center-cut salmon filet seared and topped with spicy harissa, served over a bed of fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, green onion, and avocado, finished with a squeeze of lime.
Season a 6oz filet of center cut salmon with curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat in a pan. Sear the salmon, presentation side down, until golden brown (approximately 4 minutes). Flip the salmon and sear the other side until golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and continue to cook the salmon until it reaches your desired doneness (about 4 more minutes for medium). Remove the skin from the salmon. Place the cooked salmon over a bed of Bibb lettuce and arugula. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, sliced green onion, and 1/2 an avocado around the salmon. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Top the salmon with spicy harissa and serve immediately with lime wedges to squeeze over everything.
