A note about serious food allergies

Bacon, lettuce, and tomato salad is so classically delicious, we think we could probably just offer it on its own. (And you could certainly get the meal done in under 15 minutes!) But a tender, flaky, amazing piece of salmon as well? We've taken great and turned it into amazing.

Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using customized protein, pat dry, and season both sides with half the seasoned salt.

  • If using ahi tuna, follow same instructions as salmon in Step 1, cooking until tuna reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-5 minutes per side. Tuna is often enjoyed medium-rare (pink in the middle). For medium-rare, cook 1-2 minutes per side. Consuming raw or undercooked tuna may increase your risk for food-borne illness.

  • If using chicken breasts, follow same instructions as salmon in Step 1, cooking until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Cook the Salmon

    Pat salmon fillets dry, and season flesh side with half the seasoned salt (reserve remaining for salad).

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tsp. olive oil and salmon, skin side up, to hot pan and cook until golden brown and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Not a fan of fish skin? Don't worry. Once the salmon is cooked, the skin will easily peel off and you can serve it without the skin.

    While salmon cooks, crisp bacon.

  2. 2

    Crisp the Bacon

    Line a microwave-safe plate with a paper towel. Spread bacon on towel-lined plate and microwave until crisp, 30-60 seconds.

    Set aside to cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomatoes and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Trim cucumber and thinly slice into rounds.

  4. 4

    Assemble Salad and Finish Dish

    Mix bacon, dressing, spring mix, tomatoes, cucumbers, half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish), and remaining seasoned salt in a mixing bowl until completely combined.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping salad with remaining Parmesan and topping salmon with softened butter. Bon appétit!
