Grilled Salmon and Peach Salad

This vibrant dish elegantly combines the rich, savory taste of perfectly grilled salmon with the sweet, juicy burst of fresh, sun-ripened peaches. It’s perfect for a light lunch or a refreshing dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (approx. 6 oz each)
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 4 cups of mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and kale)
  • 1/4 cup of red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup of walnuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the Salmon: Drizzle the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and let it rest.
  4. Grill the Peaches: Brush the peach slices with a little olive oil. Place them on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until they are slightly charred and tender.
  5. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
  6. Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, grilled peaches, red onion, feta cheese, and walnuts. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve: Place the salad on plates and top each serving with a grilled salmon fillet. Serve immediately and enjoy!
