• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• Himalayan salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper
• ¾ pound of salmon filets
• 1 head butter lettuce, chopped
• 4 ounces watercress

Honey Garlic Lime Vinaigrette

Instructions

Recipe for Salmon Salad

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
2. Place the chopped radishes, corn and zucchini on a large cookie sheet or in cast iron skillets.
3. Place the cherry tomatoes in small cast iron skillet or small baking dish.
4. Drizzle vegetables with oil, toss to coat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Place salmon filets in a baking dish, rub lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper.
6. Place vegetables and salmon in the oven. Cook salmon for a total of 10 to 12 minutes, or until it easily flakes with a fork (for best results don’t overcook salmon; you want the inside to be a bit pink.) Remove salmon from oven and set aside to cool.
7. Roast vegetables for 25 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove vegetables from oven and set aside to cool.
8. In a large mixing bowl toss together the butter lettuce, watercress and basil.
9. Divide the lettuce mixture among four large salad plates.
10. Evenly and artfully scatter the roasted radishes, corn, zucchini and tomatoes over the lettuce.
11. Arrange the salmon on top of the vegetables.
12. Drizzle with Honey-Garlic-Lime Vinaigrette.
13. Garnish with fresh lime.
