This Spanish salmon salad is my go to weeknight dinner when I want something that feels fancy but comes together in under an hour. Salmon is packed with omega 3 fatty acids that are wonderful for your heart, and honestly, it makes you feel like you're treating yourself while actually doing something really good for your body. The best part? Everything is fresh and raw except for the salmon, so there's minimal cooking involved and hardly any cleanup afterward. Just sear your fish, chop your veggies, and toss it all together with a punchy sherry vinaigrette. It's elegant enough for guests but simple enough that I make it all the time at home.
