Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 small, minced garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 2 stalks, chopped scallions

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the dressing by whisking together lime juice, grated fresh ginger, honey, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 3

Season the salmon fillets with a light sprinkle of salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets into the heated skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then gently flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the salmon is cooking, divide the mixed greens evenly among four plates.

Step 6

Place one cooked salmon fillet on top of the greens on each plate.

Step 7

Drizzle the lime ginger dressing generously over the salmon and greens.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately for a fresh and healthy meal.
