Ingredients
Citrus Vinaigrette:
  • ¼ to ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Drizzle honey or maple syrup, plus more to taste
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Salad:
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • Four 5-ounce salmon filets
  • 4 packed cups mixed salad greens
  • 2 clementines, peeled and sectioned
  • 1 cup shelled, cooked edamame
  • ½ English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup toasted sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. For the vinaigrette, place the olive oil, orange juice, mustard, garlic, and honey in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well combined. Add salt, pepper, and additional honey or maple syrup to taste. Set aside.
  3. For the salmon, place the soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Lay the salmon on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the soy sauce mixture over each salmon filet. Place in the oven and bake until cooked through, 13 to 14 minutes.
  5. To make the salad, fill four salad bowls evenly with the salad greens. Top each with the cooked salmon, clementine sections, edamame, cucumber slices, feta, almonds, and cranberries. Drizzle with dressing. (Serve extra dressing on the side for additional drizzling.)
