Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bunch (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces) asparagus
- 5 medium (thinly sliced) radishes
- 1 cup (trimmed) sugar snap peas
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky. Once done, let the salmon cool slightly.
While the salmon cooks, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus and sugar snap peas for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, dill, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, blanched asparagus, sugar snap peas, and sliced radishes.
Flake the cooled salmon into large pieces and add it to the salad.
Drizzle the salad with the dill vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Salmon Salad with Bright Spring Vegetables!
