The Best Salmon for Grilled Marinated Salmon Salad

This salad is best served with our moist and flaky Marinated Salmon Fillets. These fillets are marinated in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, paprika, onion, and pepper to create the best seasoned salmon around. Each salmon fillet comes to you carefully prepped and delivered boneless, skinless, and individually wrapped so that you can cook one serving or many. This fail-proof salmon option guarantees great results no matter your level of cooking skills!

To prepare your salmon, remove your desired number of fillets from the plastic wrap and thaw in the refrigerator.

How to Make Grilled Marinated Salmon Salad

Prep your grill for the salmon and set it to medium-high heat. Grill your salmon for 4-5 minutes on the first side and flip it to the other side when the salmon is no longer sticking to the grates. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes after turning, your salmon should flake easily and be opaque in appearance (no longer translucent).

Once the salmon is done grilling, toss the greens, artichoke hearts, cucumber slices and tomato basil vinaigrette into a large bowl. Place on a platter and top with a piece of grilled marinated salmon fillet, sprinkle with cherry tomato halves and feta cheese. Then as they say… dinner is served.
