Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salmon:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    • Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salmon, and season with salt and pepper.

    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  2. Prepare the Salad:

    • In a large bowl, combine the arugula, crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, rolled oats, chopped dried apricots, and thinly sliced apple.

  3. Make the Poppyseed Dressing:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

  4. Assemble the Salad:

    • Once the salmon is cooked, let it cool slightly, then flake it into bite-sized pieces.

    • Add the salmon to the salad bowl and toss gently to combine.

    • Drizzle the poppyseed dressing over the salad and toss again to coat everything evenly
