Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

1 package (10 ounces) hearts of romaine salad mix

1 medium cucumber, sliced

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

Salad dressing of your choice

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill and lemon slices

Instructions

1 Prep the salmon

2 Rub salmon with garlic; place in a shallow bowl. Add the teriyaki sauce; turn salmon to coat. Let stand 10 minutes. Editor's Tip: No teriyaki sauce? No problem. Try a brown sugar glaze instead. Even just a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper is a tasty option.

3 Cook the salmon

4 Preheat your grill. (You'll be using the direct heat cooking method for this recipe.) Place the salmon skin-side down on an oiled grill rack over medium-high heat. You should grill the fish, covered, until it just begins to flake easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes per side or 10 to 12 minutes on one side if you prefer not to flip. Editor's Tip: You'll know the salmon is done when its interior temperature reaches 145°F. (Our Test Kitchen uses this instant-read thermometer.) When the salmon is done, the meat will be opaque and should flake easily with a fork. To learn how to oil grill racks, check our complete guide to grilling salmon.

5 Make the salad

6 Combine the greens, cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. Toss salad mix with salad dressing; place on four plates. Top with salmon. To finish, sprinkle with your favorite healthy salad toppings. We love to use fresh fruits, like sliced strawberry or citrus wedges; dried fruit such as tart cranberries; or something that adds crunch, like toasted nuts, wonton strips or homemade croutons.
