Roasted Salmon Detox Salad
Description
This salad begins by baking salmon fillets at 400°F until just cooked through, preserving moisture and a tender texture. Asparagus is trimmed and chopped, while fresh watercress, cucumber, beets, and ripe avocado slices add crispness, earthiness, and creaminess to the salad. The dressing combines freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper shaken together to create a bright, slightly spicy vinaigrette that ties the ingredients together.
The salad is assembled by layering the greens and vegetables, then topped with the warm salmon. The lemon-ginger dressing is drizzled over the salad to enhance flavors and provide a refreshing balance. This combination provides contrasting textures—from tender fish and creamy avocado to crunchy vegetables—making it suitable for a detoxifying meal or light lunch.
Ingredients
- 4 wild salmon 4 ounces each, fillets
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 bunches watercress fresh
- 1 avocado sliced, ripe
- 1 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 bunch beet thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh grated
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the 4 salmon fillets on the parchment and salt and pepper liberally.
- Once the oven is preheated, bake the salmon for 8-9 minutes until just barely cooked through.
- Meanwhile, trim the ends off the asparagus and cut into 1 1/2-inch sections. Cut the watercress off the roots and slice the avocado, cucumber and beets.
- Pour the lemon juice, olive oil, ginger, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic into a jar. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Screw the lid on the jar and shake until thoroughly mixed.
- Arrange the watercress, asparagus, cucumber slices, beet slices, and avocado in four salad bowls. Once the salmon comes out of the oven, place one piece over the top of each bowl, then drizzle with the lemon-ginger dressing!
