Salmon Cobb Salad is a modern spin on the classic American Cobb salad. We swapped chicken for salmon which pairs so well with the cilantro lime dressing. This cobb salad recipe is fresh, healthy.
Ingredients
Ingredients for Pan Seared Salmon:
- 1 lb salmon, boneless, skinless (preferably wild-caught)

- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Season salmon generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot add salmon, top-side down and cook until golden and crisp on the first side (4 minutes) then flip salmon and continue cooking another 4 minutes or until cooked through, depending on thickness of salmon. Transfer to a plate and cool to room temperature then flake salmon with forks into bite-sized pieces.
Arrange romaine lettuce on a large platter or large shallow bowl.
Arrange remaining salad ingredients in rows over the romaine lettuce; cooked corn kernels, sliced onion, quartered eggs, sliced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Combine dressing ingredients in a measuring cup and stir to combine. Drizzle evenly over the salad just before serving.
