Oregano-seasoned cod is seared until golden and flaky, then set atop a bed of mixed greens tossed in a tangy red wine vinegar and Dijon dressing with heirloom tomato and artichoke heart. A creamy yogurt-dill sauce is drizzled over the top, and crunchy sunflower seeds add a satisfying finish to this light yet satisfying salad.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
