Ingredients
  

For the dressing

  • 125g/1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ lemon, juice and zest
  • 1 tbsp chopped dill
  • 2 tbsp water to thin it out

For the salad

  • 2X125/4oz salmon fillet pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ lemon, zest only
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 2 cucumbers small
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 tbsp crumbled goat cheese
  • 170g/4 cups mixed salad greens

Instructions
 

  • Make the salad dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and zest with chopped dill. Add warm water one teaspoon at a time to thin it out, continue adding water until desired consistency. Set aside till needed.
  • Brush the salmon pieces with the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grate the zest of ½ lemon directly on top. Cook in the preheated to 180C/350G oven for 10-12 minutes. Or cook in the air fryer at 200C/400F for 8 minutes.
  • While the salmon is in the oven, cook the eggs. For soft boiled eggs, put the eggs in cold water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then turn the heat off and let the eggs sit in the water for 5 minutes. Afterwards, transfer the eggs to ice cold water until completely cool, then peel.
  • To assemble the salad pile the salad greens on a platter, then top with the salmon, tomato slices, cucumbers halves, sliced avocado and soft boiled eggs cut in half. Then arrange the crumbled goat cheese in the middle. I like to sprinkle all vegetables with a bit of salt before adding the dressing. Drizzle with the lemon dill dressing and serve.
