Ingredients:
1⁄2 cup loosely packed fresh dill, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic
2 avocados, chopped, divided
1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon, divided
1⁄2 teaspoon salt, divided
4 (5 ounce) skinless salmon fillets
1⁄4 teaspoon ground pepper
3 cups spring mix salad greens
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1 cup matchstick carrots
Directions:
Step 1
Place dill, water, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1/2 cup avocado, 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salmon evenly with pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the salmon to the pan; cook until golden on the bottom and mostly opaque around the sides, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets; remove from heat. Let the fillets stand in the pan until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Combine salad greens, cabbage, carrots and the reserved dressing in a large bowl; toss gently until evenly coated. Divide the salad among 4 plates; top with the remaining avocado. Top each salad with a salmon fillet; garnish with additional dill, if desired.
