Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

While the salmon is baking, prepare the dressing by whisking together lime juice, honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, toss together the mixed greens, diced mango, sliced avocado, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

Drizzle the lime-ginger dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Step 7

Place the baked salmon fillets on top of the salad or flake them into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly.
