Ingredients

• 4 pieces (4-6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, Sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk together until smooth to create the hot-and-sour glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the glaze, reserving about 2 tablespoons of it for later.

Step 4

Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the salmon is baking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, and sliced scallions.

Step 6

Drizzle the reserved glaze over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Divide the salad mixture evenly among four plates. Carefully place a salmon fillet on top of each portion of salad.

Step 9

Sprinkle the salmon and salad with sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy a healthy, delicious meal packed with bold flavors!
