Teriyaki Salmon and Asparagus, Spinach Salad

[heart_this] · Jun 10, 2008 · 28 Comments

Teriyaki Salmon and Asparagus, Spinach Salad

As the days get warmer I find myself turning to salads more often. Add a bit of meat to a salad and you have a nice light meal. One of my favorite meats is salmon and one of my favorite ways to cook it is teriyaki style. I thought that a spinach salad with asparagus and salmon teriyaki would make a nice meal. This would be a great way to use up any leftover salmon teriyaki that you might have. I rarely find myself with leftover salmon teriyaki though and this dish was well worth the effort of cooking the salmon. I dressed the salad with a simple teriyaki based dressing and I filled the salad out with vegetables that I had on hand.

  • 1 serving salmon (deboned)
  • 1 handful asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • 1 lime (juice and zest)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • 1 handful grape tomatoes

directions

    Like some of the other posters on here I am not usually a fan of putting fish in salad, just i never have seen it really go together well. Having said that, your dish looks pretty amazing, and i am considering making it this week. I will let you know if i do and what it's like.
