Ingredients
Scale
- Juice of one lemon
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 3 large cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb salmon fillet
- Olive oil
- Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 slices smoked turkey strips (cooked and crumbled)
- 4 large eggs (hard boiled, cut into quarters)
- 2 hearts of romaine (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 seedless cucumber (sliced)

Instructions
- Step: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the salmon fillet on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, drizzle all over with olive oil and generously sprinkle with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until salmon flakes with a fork.

- Step: In a large serving bowl, layer the chopped romaine, then arrange the tomatoes, crumbled turkey strips, hardboiled eggs and cucumber.
- Step: Flake the baked salmon off of the skin with a fork and arrange over the salad, then peel and thinly slice the avocado and arrange over the salad.
- Step: Sprinkle everything with sea salt and black pepper and garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
- Step: Once ready to serve, shake or whisk the dressing and drizzle all over the salad.
Notes
I prefer to cook the turkey strips in the oven on a parchment lined baking sheet at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. For eggs, place in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then cover and steam for 15 minutes before cooling in ice water.
