Pat the salmon dry and slice into two pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Begin heating the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the salmon skin side down. Allow the salmon to cook most of the way through on the skin side, then flip and sear the top. Cook time should be around 3-6 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness.
While salmon is cooking chop the veggies and the cooked bacon.
Assemble the salad. Remove the cooked salmon from the pan and place on the top of salad and add the dressing.
