Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 small, minced garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 stalks, chopped scallions
Instructions
Prepare the dressing by whisking together lime juice, grated fresh ginger, honey, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Season the salmon fillets with a light sprinkle of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon fillets into the heated skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then gently flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, divide the mixed greens evenly among four plates.
Place one cooked salmon fillet on top of the greens on each plate.
Drizzle the lime ginger dressing generously over the salmon and greens.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately for a fresh and healthy meal.
