Ingredients:
- 2 fish fillets (about 200g each, preferably salmon or cod)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and lettuce)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by poaching the eggs: Fill a saucepan with water, bring it to a gentle simmer, and add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- While the eggs are poaching, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- In a salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and avocado. Toss gently.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then drizzle over the salad and toss to combine.
- Once the fish is cooked, flake it into large pieces and place it on top of the salad.
- Top the salad with the poached eggs, and sprinkle with fresh dill if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Zesty Fish Fillet Salad!
