instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper to taste. Place it on a baking sheet.

    3

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

    4

    While the salmon is baking, wash and dry the spinach leaves and place them in a large serving bowl.

    5

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and the red onion into thin rings. Add these to the bowl with the spinach.

    6

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.

    7

    Once the salmon is done, let it cool for a few minutes, then flake it into large pieces over the salad.

    8

    Drizzle the dressing on the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

    9

    Finally, sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the salad before serving.
