Notes
You can skip the cayenne pepper in the salmon if you don’t like the heat.
I used fresh dill in my vinaigrette dressing. However, parsley, chives or basil are also great alternatives.
A little onion goes a long way. Too much will overpower the salad.
If you are short of time, you can speed up things further by getting the packaged salad from the store. Then you just have to sear the salmon and toss the vegetables with the other ingredients
