To make the dressing:

• Combine all of the ingredients but the red pepper flakes in a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste, and add extra salt if it needs some extra oomph, and or a pinch of red pepper flakes if you’d like more heat. Blend again, then transfer to a small jar with a spout, for serving.

The salad

• In a large salad bowl, combine the spring mix, chopped romaine, julienned radish, cabbage, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and pepitas.
• Divide the salad into individual bowls, top with slices of avocado, and drizzle dressing just before serving.
• If you intend to have leftovers, store the salad separately from the dressing, and toss individual servings with dressing just before serving. The salad will keep well this way for about 4 to 5 days.

• Heat skillet to medium high heat and add in olive oil
• Sear each piece of salmon for a few minutes - skin side up (can remove the skin, only sear presentation side). Remove salmon from pan and set aside.
• Drain any excess oil and add in half of the butter. Add in the wine, rest of butter, lemon juice, zest, half of the parsley, and capers.
• Add salmon back into the pan, skin side down, and cover. Continue cooking salmon for a few more minutes. Remove salmon once cooked to 145 degrees and remove 3/4 of the sauce from the pan.
• Leave about 1/4 cup of sauce in the pan, add in fresh spinach and toss in sauce. Sauté for 2 minutes or until cooked through.
