Ingredients

Salmon

• 2 – 8oz. salmon fillets
• pinch of Himalayan rock salt
• dash of freshly ground pepper

Salad

• ½ English cucumber, cut in half lengthwise then sliced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 4 sticks celery, diced

Dressing

• 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Turn the broiler of your oven on and line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Place salmon on the foil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil fish about 4-5 inches from the heat for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Thinner steaks take between 5-8 minutes. When salmon is golden brown on top, remove and set aside to cool.
3. Once cooled, break apart and place in a large bowl. Add cucumber, tomato, celery and green onions and set aside.
4. Place dressing ingredients in a small food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Pour over top of vegetable mixture.
