Salmon BLT Cobb Salad

How to make any salad worth eating.

I’m going to be completely honest right from the beginning… I don’t like seafood. Which obviously makes no sense since the star of this dish is a beautiful cut of Alaskan Salmon! But I assure you, my wife and daughter were more than happy to eat these salmon steaks!

Being the chef in the family, I decided to sneak in something for myself. Can you guess what it was? It was bacon…

No! You can’t take my bacon away.. bacon is good for me!

By some magic I was able to cook the salmon at the same time as the bacon! Yeah, it made no sense to me either, but it worked! That means you don’t have to worry about timing everything correctly to have it all ready at the same time! All you need to do is pop that pan into the oven and hit bake.

What about those leaves though?

I took advantage of the time it took to cook the salmon and bacon, and I began preparing the rest of the salad. Speaking of… do you know what the definition of a salad is?

It is:

A mixture of small pieces of food (as meat, fish, pasta, fruit, or vegetables) usually combined with a dressing.

With that definition there are so many things that could be called salad! Even a mix of potatoes, pork, and broccoli tossed in a ranch or BBQ would be a salad. I’m liking this definition more and more!

If your food is bite sized and you add dressing it’s considered a salad… #somanypossibilities

Keeping that logic, I cut all the ingredients for the salad into bite sized pieces and tossed them together in a bowl. But as we know, it needs to have a dressing in order to qualify as salad. Queue the Creamy Lemon Vinaigrette!

Dreamy and creamy… it’s dressing time!

Have you ever heard of a dump dressing before? It’s a common technique used with ranch dressings, but basically you “dump” everything in to a mason jar and shake it all about. Similar to the hokey pokey, except this time it’s ingredients in a jar and… okay, it’s nothing like the hokey pokey. But you still get to shake it all about!

Luckily for you this dressing is made with a mayonnaise base. So you get to simply take your homemade mayonnaise, add the spices and lemon juice, and shake away. You can thank me later!

I take my dressings shaken, not stirred.

How much simpler does it get than that?! With just one jar, one pan, and one bowl, you have your dressing, salmon, bacon, and salad! So not only are you getting this amazing meal, but you have limited dishes too!

I think the main takeaway here is that you should make this salad immediately! Ha!

But on a more serious note, just because I don’t love salmon (or seafood in general), it doesn’t mean I can’t make it for those who do! Especially when those people are my family!

I’ll leave you to go cook now! Enjoy!
