Description
This Balsamic Glazed Salmon Salad is the epitome of a summery salad, featuring juicy baked salmon with an incredibly flavorful strawberry balsamic glaze served on a fresh green salad with strawberries, shallots, candied pecans, and crumbled feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–16 oz salmon fillets (with skin on)
- Salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper
- Neutral oil for baking
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 6–8 large strawberries, diced
- 1 large shallot, diced
- 6 oz spring mix
- 4 strawberries, sliced
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled microbial-rennet feta cheese
- 1/4 cup candied pecans
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, folding up the edges to keep the sauce in.
- Balsamic Glaze: Heat a sauce pot over medium-low heat, add diced strawberries and shallots, mix in sugar and sauté for a minute, then stir in balsamic vinegar and simmer for 5-7 minutes until reduced; remove from heat.
- Salmon: Rub salmon skin with oil and place skin-down on the baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, spread half of the glaze over the fillets, and bake for 15-18 minutes.
- Salad: Arrange spring mix, sliced strawberries, thinly sliced shallots, pecans, and feta cheese in a dish, place the rested salmon on top, and spoon the remaining glaze over the salmon and salad.
Notes
Let the salmon cool to a warm temperature before adding it to the salad to prevent the greens from wilting.
