Creating Salmon Salad with Avocado is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a satisfying result:
1. Cook the Salmon: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Pan-Seer Salmon: Add olive oil to the skillet and place the salmon fillets in it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

5. Slice the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin wedges.
6. Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to combine.
7. Add Salmon: Flake the cooked salmon and add it to the salad.
