A healthy summer meal full of fresh ingredients that all pair well with Montchevre® Goat Cheese Crumbles.

Seared Salmon Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

For vinaigrette, in a small bowl combine lemon juice, honey, mustard, and garlic and whisk together.


Slowly drizzle oil in a steady stream while whisking until mixture has emulsified.

Season with salt and pepper and stir together.

For salmon salad, generously season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Once pan is hot add oil and swirl around to coat.

Add salmon fillets, skin-side up, and sear for about 5 minutes.

Lower heat to medium and gently flip each fillet.

Continue to sear salmon for an additional 5 minutes or until fillets have just cooked through.

Remove salmon from pan and roughly flake apart using a fork.

Pour 1/3 cup vinaigrette into a large mixing bowl and top with mixed greens.

Gently toss together until greens are evenly coated.

Divide greens between two large plates/bowls and top with flaked salmon, strawberries, avocados, red onion, and walnuts.

Finish each salad with a generous sprinkle of goat cheese crumbles.
