I make this easy roasted salmon salad very often. It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and you end up with a beautiful nutritious meal with very little effort.

Ingredients

The ingredients for this recipe are very simple. I used kale for the base of the salad, but you can use any green leafy vegetable. I added bell peppers for texture and jalapeños for a little spice. The radishes add a slightly peppery taste as well as crispiness and the scallions a soft onion taste.

When making salads, I like adding nuts and dried fruits and avocado. In this case I used pistachios and dried cherries and 1/4 of a medium size Hass Avocado.

Spicy Yogurt Dressing

This roasted salmon salad goes very well with a creamy dressing. To make the dressing mix 1/4 of Greek Yogurt with Dijon Mustard, Sambal Oelek and liquid Stevia. I added about 1/4 tsp of liquid Stevia, but you can add more or less depending on your taste. The same applies to the Sambal Oelek. And that’s it, the dressing is ready!

Roasted Salmon

Salmon takes 15-20 minutes to cook in the oven. Just add salt and pepper to your filets and place in the oven at 425 F for 15 minutes. If you are using frozen salmon, let it bake 20-25min at 425F. After that time, you can broil for another 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook your salmon.

Roasted Salmon Salad Assembly

Assemble your salad while the salmon is in the oven.

Make a bed of kale in a salad bowl. Then chop and add all the other ingredients.

Once the salmon is ready, place the filet on top of the salad and add the spicy dressing.

Enjoy this Roasted Salmon Salad with spicy yogurt dressing for lunch or dinner any day of the week.
