Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Place all ingredients for the dressing in a jar, close and shake well. Place in the fridge while you finish the rest of the salad.
  3. Add all ingredients for the salad in a large serving bowl then set aside.
  4. Lastly, mix together sriracha and honey. Place salmon filets on baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Then use a brush to brush on the sriracha/honey mixture onto all the filets. Place in oven to bake for 8-10 minutes (this will depend on the thickness of your filets) to cook until medium.
  5. To make salad: pour dressing onto salad (whatever amount you prefer) and toss, top with salmon, green onions, sliced almonds and black sesame seeds. Easy as that!
