Directions

Directions

  1. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and brush both sides of fish using 3 tablespoons of avocado oil. Cook salmon, uncovered, about 4 minutes, until browned.

  2. Turn salmon over and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes for frozen, or 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed, just until fish is opaque throughout.

  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine watercress, cucumber, and orange segments. Season with a few drops of white wine vinegar, remaining avocado oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.

  4. Plate mixed greens next to salmon and top with avocado, walnuts, and apple cider vinaigrette. Add nasturtiums, if desired, and serve.
