Grilled Salmon Salad with Warm Blueberry Vinaigrette

Grilled salmon salad with warm blueberry vinaigrette dressing is the perfect quick weeknight meal at home with the kids, or easy dinner recipe for entertaining guests.

I’m not a huge fan of seafood, so when Hubbyman wanted salmon a couple weeks I put my thinking cap on. I needed something that he would love and that I would tolerate. Let me just say that I was the first one to join the clean plate club the night we had this grilled salmon salad with warm blueberry vinaigrette. It was..in one word…PERFECT!

Yep, perfect is the only way to describe this super simple, yet elegant supper. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight meal at home with the kids, but it’s also perfect for entertaining too. The best part is that it only takes a few minutes for this amazingly, scrumptious salmon salad.

If you can’t find fresh blueberries or they are just too darn expensive then opt for some frozen blueberries and just thaw them under some warm water for about 30 seconds and they will be totally perfect for this dish…since the blueberries get cooked a bit.

My MIL actually told me about this recipe that she had seen in the newspaper months ago. She could remember a few of the ingredients and sort of how it was made, but didn’t have the recipe nor could she remember which paper. This is my take on what she told me. (Update: I found the recipe online with the help of @quickeasydish on Twitter….here is the link to the original recipe in which mine was inspired from.)

To get this grilled salmon salad on the table fast, make the vinaigrette while the salmon is cooking.
