This French salmon salad is one of my go to meals when I want something elegant yet totally fuss free. With just forty five minutes from start to finish, it's perfect for a weeknight dinner that feels special. The star here is the salmon, which is packed with omega 3 fatty acids that are wonderful for your heart and brain. What I love most is how simple it all comes together: you roast the salmon while preparing a zesty Dijon vinaigrette, then toss everything with crisp greens, creamy feta, and fresh parsley. It's restaurant quality food that won't break the bank or keep you stuck in the kitchen for hours.
