Instructions
 

Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze:

    - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.

      Marinate the Salmon:

        - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the honey mustard glaze over them. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

          Cook the Salmon:

            - Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill or skillet.

              - Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

                Assemble the Salad:

                  - In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and feta cheese. Toss gently to mix.

                    Prepare the Dressing:

                      - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

                        Combine and Serve:

                          - Drizzle the salad with the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Top with the cooked salmon fillets and chopped walnuts, if using.

                            - Serve immediately, garnished with a lemon wedge if desired.
