Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Salad:

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and kale)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup walnuts, toasted

Fresh lemon juice, for drizzling

For the Dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

    Marinate the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place in a shallow dish and pour the honey mustard glaze over them, ensuring they’re well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (you can also marinate longer in the fridge for more flavor).

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

        Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, red onion, feta cheese, and walnuts.

          Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

            Assemble the Salad: Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to combine. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.

              Serve: Divide the salad among plates and enjoy your fresh and delicious Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon Salad right away!
