Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, diced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or reserved glaze
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and a splash of oil to form a glaze.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high, add oil, and cook salmon skin-side down for 4–5 minutes until golden.
  4. Flip salmon, brush glaze on top, and cook another 3–4 minutes until fully cooked and sticky. Let rest briefly.
  5. In a large bowl, toss together salad greens, cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, avocado, and herbs.
  6. Mix lime juice and olive oil or leftover glaze with salt and pepper to make dressing, then drizzle over salad and toss gently.
  7. Top salad with glazed salmon and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Grill the salmon for a smokier version.
  • Adjust heat by changing sriracha amount or adding chili flakes.
  • Swap in kale, baby spinach, or other greens based on preference.
  • Serve over grains like quinoa or rice for a hearty bowl.
  • Store components separately; reheat salmon gently before serving.
