Ingredients
- •Salmon(454g)
- •fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Arugula(57g)
- •Bell Pepper
- •Cucumber
- •Yellow Onion
- •Pumpkin Seeds, Roasted, Salted(160g)

Instructions
- 1Season the salmon with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick sauté pan. Place the salmon filets flesh-side down and cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Flip and cook the other side for about 2-4 more minutes, until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness and flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking time will also depend on the thickness of the salmon.) Transfer salmon to a clean plate and set aside.
- 2Combine the arugula, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, pepitas, feta and cooked salmon in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle evenly with the dressing, then gently toss to combine.
- 3Serve immediately, topped with the avocado plus extra feta and/or pepitas, for garnish.
