Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, until it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups romaine lettuce, 1 cup shredded carrots, and 1 cup shredded purple cabbage.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, whisk the juice of 1 lime with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Flake the salmon into large chunks and add to the salad. Drizzle with the lime dressing and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
