Prepare the Salmon

Start by seasoning your salmon with salt, pepper, and dill. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it with olive oil. Place the salmon skin-side down and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.

Mix the Greens Salad

Combine the mixed greens (lettuce, arugula, etc.) in a salad bowl. For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and drizzle it over the salad. Toss well to ensure all the leaves are lightly coated.

Prepare the Green Sauce

Choose your desired green sauce (pesto, chimichurri, or green goddess dressing). For homemade, blend fresh herbs of your choice with olive oil, garlic, and nuts or seeds if preferred, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Dish

Place the grilled salmon on a plate, alongside the mixed greens salad. Drizzle your choice of green sauce over the salmon and sprinkle hemp or sesame seeds on top for added texture and a nutritional boost.
