Juice of 1 lemon

For the Salad:

4 cups mixed greens (a blend of arugula, spinach, and romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional for extra crunch)

1/2 avocado, sliced

Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

For the Dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon Marinade:

    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until well combined. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this marinade in a separate dish for later use.

      Marinate the Salmon:

        Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is thoroughly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature to enhance the flavor.

          Preheat the Oven:

            While the salmon is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.

              Bake the Salmon:

                Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through baking, brush the fillets with the reserved marinade for an extra burst of flavor.

                  Prepare the Salad Base:

                    While the salmon bakes, take a large mixing bowl and combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta, and walnuts if you choose to include them. Toss lightly to mix the ingredients.

                      Make the Dressing:

                        In a small jar or bowl, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Seal the jar and shake vigorously, or whisk in the bowl, until the dressing is well blended and emulsified.

                          Assemble the Salad:

                            Once the salmon is cooked, allow it to cool slightly before breaking it into large chunks. Add the salmon pieces and avocado slices on top of the salad.

                              Dress the Salad:

                                Drizzle the freshly made dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure an even coating of the dressing.

                                  Serve:

                                    Transfer the salad to individual serving plates or a large serving bowl. If desired, garnish with fresh dill or parsley for a colorful touch. Enjoy your delightful Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon Salad!
