Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 lemon sliced
- 4 salmon fillets
- Salt/pepper
For the Salad:
- 6 cups Butter Lettuce & Radicchio 7-oz bag
- 2 ounces arugula
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced

- 2 ounces fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh dill sprigs
- 4-6 oz. blue cheese salad dressing store-bought or homemade

Instructions
- Preheat the broiler with the oven rack positioned to broil. Coat a sheet pan with oil spray.
For the Salmon:
- Combine the lemon juice and the olive oil and brush it on the salmon fillets. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Add a lemon slice to each salmon fillet, place salmon skin-side-down on the prepared sheet pan and transfer to the oven. Broil 6 to 8 minutes depending on thickness of the salmon. Calculate 4 minutes for each 1/2-inch thickness of salmon. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
For the Herb Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, add the butter lettuce/radicchio, arugula, red onion slices, tarragon, parsley and dill. Add blue cheese salad dressing to coat lightly and toss to combine. Divide equally into 4 chilled salad plates. Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and crunchy salad croutons. Place one salmon fillet on top of each salad portion. Serve immediately
