Description
A spicy and flavorful salad bowl featuring baked salmon fillets, fresh vegetables, and a zesty sriracha dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, and romaine)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the salmon fillets.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a separate bowl. Adjust the sriracha to taste for desired spiciness.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Flake the salmon into large pieces.
- To serve, divide the salad mixture among bowls, top with flaked salmon, and drizzle with the sriracha dressing.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of sriracha in the dressing or substitute with a creamy dressing like ranch or yogurt.
- You can also add other veggies like bell peppers or carrots for extra crunch and color.
- For a heartier meal, serve the salad over cooked quinoa or brown rice.
