Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin removed

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Salad:

8 cups mixed greens (a mix of arugula, spinach, and romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

½ medium red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup walnuts, toasted

For the Dressing:

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

½ tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the glaze is smooth.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the prepared honey mustard glaze over the top. Ensure the fillets are well coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the cooking surface is hot, remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess glaze to drip off. Grill or cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Turn the fillets halfway through cooking and brush with the remaining glaze for additional flavor. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes.

        Prepare the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted walnuts. Toss the ingredients gently to ensure they are evenly mixed.

          Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified and smooth.

            Assemble the Salad: Place the grilled salmon fillets on top of the salad. Drizzle any remaining dressing over the fillets and salad mixture. For an elegant touch, sprinkle extra crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts on top.

              Serve: Serve immediately while the salmon is still warm, and savor the delightful flavors of your vibrant Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon Salad!
