Instructions
  1. Combine greens, cherry tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and avocado in a bowl, then drizzle with vinaigrette and set aside.
  2. Preheat your grill to its hottest setting, aiming for about 500 degrees.
  3. Brush the salmon fillet with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the salmon for 6 minutes without turning, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness and easily releases from the grates.
