- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- pinch cayenne pepper
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
- 1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 heads of romaine, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges, for garnish
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Method
Step 1
Season salmon on both sides with chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
In an enameled cast iron skillet, or heavy bottomed frying pan, add 2 tbsp Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and heat over medium high heat until shimmering. Add salmon (skin side up) and cook for about 4 minutes, or until salmon is golden brown and can easily move around the pan. Flip salmon and cook skin side down for another 3 minutes, then add to the plate and tent loosely with foil.
Step 3
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette by adding remaining 1/2 cup Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, honey, minced jalapeno, cilantro leaves, lime juice, and vinegar to a high-powered blender and processing until smooth.
Step 4
Add the chopped romaine to a large platter and top with cherry tomatoes, corn, avocados, black beans, chips, cilantro, lime wedges and radishes (if using). Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve.
