Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 2: Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil if using a skillet.
- Step 3: Place the salmon fillets on the grill or skillet skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 4: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad by combining the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix.
- Step 5: Once the salmon is ready, drizzle half of the balsamic glaze over the fillets. Serve the salmon on top of the salad mixture and drizzle with any remaining glaze before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Balsamic Glazed Salmon Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- If you want to enjoy leftovers, gently reheat the salmon in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, taking care not to overcook it.
- For a delightful twist, consider adding sliced avocado or toasted nuts for extra creaminess and crunch when serving the salad.
- To enhance the flavor of your balsamic glaze, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary while it's simmering for an aromatic boost.
