Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 large (ripe, diced) mango
- 1 medium (sliced) avocado
- 0.5 small (thinly sliced) red onion
- 1 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving) lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the dressing by whisking together lime juice, honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste.
In a large salad bowl, toss together the mixed greens, diced mango, sliced avocado, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the lime-ginger dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Place the baked salmon fillets on top of the salad or flake them into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly.
Garnish the salad with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
