Instructions
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large non stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon fillet to the skillet and cook for 4 5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest. In a large bowl, mix together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill to create a simple dressing. Combine the arugula, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado in a separate bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine. Arrange the dressed salad on a plate and place the salmon fillet on top.
