It really is such an easy lunch or dinner. For the salmon, all you need is salt and olive oil. Drizzle the filets with both, place in the oven and broil on high for around five minutes. The salad dressing also has a super short ingredient list — olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and only a few more. Sometimes the most simple ingredients create the most amazing flavors, and this dressing is a perfect example of that.
