Ingredients:
Let's get our culinary minds whirling with these lick-your-lips ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 Pound Fresh Atlantic Salmon (455g), cut into bite-size slices, seasoned with salt & pepper
- 1 Cucumber, diced
- 1 Slice Bread (preferably sourdough), cut into cubes
- 2.5 Ounces Crumbled Feta Cheese (70g), dissolved in 1/4 cup Water
- 1 Pint Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 Teaspoon Diced Garlic
- 2 Cups Fresh Lettuce (optional)
Bonus playing card: Garlic, cucumber, fresh lettuce, and cherry tomatoes provide a bevy of health benefits, from lowering blood pressure to boosting immunity!
Plating the Picnic:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Toss your salmon chunks in olive oil and lemon juice, then place them in a greased baking dish. Roast the salmon for approximately 4--6 minutes per inch thickness, until flaky and cooked through (about 13--15 minutes).
Tip: Resting your grilled salmon for a few minutes allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a mouthwatering, moist fish feast!
- While the salmon cooks, scatter your cubed bread on a separate baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then pop it in the oven to toast for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown.
- For the salad, begin with a base of lettuce, if desired, and top it with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and garlic.
- Gentle lay down your plump turquoise bricks of feta and finally, the succulent salmon slices.
- Ultra-crispy croutons should be the crowning achievement! Sprinkle them between the salad layers and garnish with fresh lettuce leaves.
- Whisk your choice of dressing, preferably a tangy vinaigrette, and pour it liberally over the salad.
- Now, dig in and enjoy!
