Equipment
Method
- Heat the frying pan over medium heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and sprinkle half of the black pepper on both sides.
- Add olive oil to the hot pan. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is golden-brown. Remove from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into large pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, arugula, and mixed salad greens.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and the rest of the black pepper over the greens. Toss gently until well combined.
- Top the dressed greens with the flaked salmon. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve with a lemon wedge on the side.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing, nutrient-rich meal.
