Description
Salmon chunks glazed in a deliciously tangy, salty-sweet balsamic sauce, all baked on one sheet pan and done in 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons tamari/soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- chili flakes
- 4 filets (4-6 ounce) salmon, cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
- salt and black pepper
- 2 avocados, diced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons toasted nuts/seeds
- 1/2 cup mixed herbs, chopped (dill and basil)
- 1/2 cup crumbled microbial-rennet feta
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450° F.
- Step 2: In a saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, tamari/soy sauce, garlic, thyme, oregano, and chili flakes. Set over medium heat. Bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce bubbles and begins to thicken. Remove from the heat.
- Step 3: On a baking sheet, toss the salmon with half of the balsamic sauce and arrange in an even layer. Arrange the asparagus around the salmon, toss with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4: Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. During the last minute, switch the oven to broil and broil until lightly caramelized. Toss the salmon with the remaining balsamic sauce.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, combine the avocado with 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, herbs, nuts/seeds, and feta in a bowl. Season with salt.
- Step 6: Spoon the asparagus and salmon over the bowls of rice. Top with lots of the avocado/feta salad mix.
Notes
Serve these bowls over steamy rice. You can substitute asparagus with broccoli if preferred.
