Ingredients
  

For the Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon:

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ginger powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking

For the Salad:

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

For the Dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Glaze the Salmon: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then brush the tops generously with the spicy honey glaze. Reserve some glaze for drizzling later.

      Cook the Salmon: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon carefully and brush more glaze over the top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

        Prepare the Salad Base: While the salmon is cooking, assemble the salad by placing mixed greens in a large salad bowl. Top with cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese if using.

          Make the Dressing: In a small jar or bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk until well mixed.

            Assemble the Salad: Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a moment. Slice the salmon into bite-sized pieces and lay it over the salad.

              Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Add any reserved spicy honey glaze on top for an extra kick.

                Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley before serving. Enjoy your Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon Salad while fresh!
