Ingredients
- 8 ounces salmon filets, cut into 2 4-ounce portions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 3 cups chopped romaine
- 1 cup chopped red cabbage
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup mandarin oranges
- ¼ cup shelled edamame
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Honey Sesame Dressing
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
- ¼ cup Chinkiang vinegar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, coat 8 ounces salmon filets, with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper. Place the salmon filets in the heated skillet and increase the heat to high.
- Cook for 3 minutes. Turn the salmon over, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Salmon should flake easily with a fork when it is done, and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, or at least 125 degrees Fahrenheit if you like it a little less well done. Remove the salmon to a plate and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine 3 cups chopped romaine, 1 cup chopped red cabbage, ½ cup shredded carrots, ½ cup mandarin oranges, and ¼ cup shelled edamame. Toss until combined. Slice the salmon and lay on top of the salad. Top with ¼ cup sliced almonds.
