Blackened Salmon BLT Salad

For the salmon:

4 wild-caught salmon filets
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Leftover bacon fat

For the salad:

Organic mixed greens
Organic cherry tomatoes, halved
6-8 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
3 avocado, sliced
Thinly sliced red onion

For the dressing:

Ranch dressing (I use Primal Kitchen)
Fresh lemon juice

Prep & directions:

1. Pat salmon filets dry. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend evenly over the salmon.

2. Cut the bacon and cook it in the cast iron you will use to cook salmon. Once crispy, remove the bacon and let cool.

3. Place salmon face down and cook for 3 minutes per side (adjust based on thickness).

3. Add greens to a bowl. Add halved cherry tomatoes, bacon, avocado slices, and red onion. Add salmon on top. Thin the ranch dressing with lemon juice and then drizzle it.

Enjoy!
