2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

For the Salad:

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

1/2 avocado, sliced

Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

For the Dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon Marinade:

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Reserve a tablespoon of the marinade for later.

      Marinate the Salmon:

        Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes at room temperature.

          Preheat the Oven:

            Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

              Bake the Salmon:

                Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Brush with reserved marinade halfway through baking for added flavor.

                  Prepare the Salad Base:

                    While the salmon is baking, in a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and walnuts, if using.

                      Make the Dressing:

                        In a small jar or bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk until well combined.

                          Assemble the Salad:

                            Once the salmon is cooked, let it cool slightly before breaking it into large pieces. Add the salmon and avocado slices to the salad.

                              Dress the Salad:

                                Drizzle the salad with the dressing and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

                                  Serve:

                                    Transfer the salad to serving plates or a large serving bowl. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired. Enjoy your Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon Salad!
