Cooking Steps
-
Pat salmon* dry with paper towels. Season all over with half the Old Bay Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin sides down, and cook until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. (Lower heat if salmon begins to brown too quickly.) TIP: While salmon cooks, move on to Step 2!
-
Transfer to a plate.
-
While salmon cooks, wash and dry produce.
-
Zest and quarter lemon (for 4 servings, zest one lemon and quarter both). Halve tomatoes. Drain and rinse corn. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Soak shallot in a small bowl of cold water.
-
In a large bowl, mix together lemon zest, mayonnaise, sour cream, remaining Old Bay Seasoning, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), and juice from half the lemon. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
-
Using a fork, break salmon into large pieces.
-
To bowl with dressing, add arugula, tomatoes, corn, shallot (draining first), and croutons. Toss until evenly coated.
-
Divide salad between shallow bowls. Top with salmon and serve with remaining lemon wedges.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The creamy lemon dressing and Old Bay combination won many fans, though several found the seasoning too salty — use half the Old Bay if you're sensitive to salt 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Fast and straightforward, with the salmon cooking quickly and the salad coming together in minutes.
- Suggestions: Add more arugula or supplement with mixed greens if the salad feels light; a few reviewers also found the dressing ratio a bit heavy and recommend tossing with less. One reviewer successfully used an air fryer for the salmon with great results.
- Portions: Several reviewers noted the arugula and overall salad volume felt too small for two people — adding extra greens makes it a more satisfying meal.
