Ingredients

  • One 4-6oz filet of wild salmon fresh or defrosted

  • 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil (olive oil or ghee is good too)

  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

  • 1-1/2 cups organic arugula, coarsely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon of chopped red onion

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 1 hardboiled egg

  • Dressing:

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to taste

  • ⅓ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (or whole grain)

  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

  • Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor combine lemon zest, juice, and Dijon mustard. Attach lid and begin processing. Stream in your Extra Virgin Olive Oil and continue blending for 2 minutes. Pull off lid, add salt, and pepper to taste and even more oil if need be. Once dressing is balanced to your liking blend another minute, and set aside while you prepare the salmon.

  2. Rinse salmon filet with water, pat dry with a paper towel. Brush salmon with Avocado oil. Brush Avocado oil in pan and sear filet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. While salmon cooks, quickly toss arugula with capers, red onion, and place on a plate. Turn filet over carefully and sprinkle seared side with salt and pepper. Continue searing on other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, place filet over arugula salad seasoned side down and sprinkle unseasoned side with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle lemon dressing over top of salmon as well as salad. Finish with fresh dill.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
