Honey Garlic Salmon Salad Served on a Board

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I made this amazing and easy salmon salad a couple of months ago, and completely dropped the ball on getting the recipe up before Summer came to an end. But when simple food tastes this good it doesn’t matter what season it is when you eat it! This baked salmon has a flavorful honey-garlic glaze and goes perfectly with a fresh salad, and my jalapeño, basil, and tahini sauce as the dressing.

The Salad

I know salad always sounds so boring, but there are ways to make them delicious and satisfying! To me, it’s all about texture, a blend of sweet and savory flavors, and a great dressing. That’s exactly what this is. My husband loved this salad for dinner, and after I styled it for our shoot we ate it right off of the board! So trendy, right?
This salad is light, but it’s so satiating. Honey-garlic salmon is cooked to perfection, and the glaze on top is addicting. The blueberries bring a nice sweetness, and go really well with the fresh cucumber and rich avocado. It all just works. Plus this recipe is dairy- free, and can be made gluten-free by using Tamari. I think this might be one of my favorite recipes!

The Dressing

I made this tahini dressing (or sauce) a while back, and it is SO good. I use it on different foods like chicken, shrimp, roasted veggies, and it works especially well with salmon! It literally has 3 ingredients: jalapeño, tahini, and basil! Of course, you need a couple of pantry ingredients to help it come together, but overall easy and incredibly tasty! Make sure you use fresh basil for this Super Sauce, because you just won’t get the same flavor with dried.
