Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- For the citrus vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions
- In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and let them sit for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is grilling, prepare the citrus vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, sliced almonds, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss with the citrus vinaigrette until well coated.
- To serve, divide the salad mixture among plates and top each portion with a grilled salmon fillet. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
- Enjoy this delicious Cielo's Spring Salmon with your loved ones!
