Spinach Salad With Salmon And Cilantro-Mint Dressing Recipe
This Spinach Salad With Salmon And Cilantro-Mint Dressing recipe, is a healthy, creative take on salmon salad with spiced walnut-salon and a delicious cilantro-mint dressing.
Coat The Salmon: Heat the oven to 450°F and arrange a rack in the upper third. Combine 3/4 cup of the walnuts, flax seeds, coriander, and pinch of salt and pepper in a small food processor and pulse until it's a fine meal, about 8 (1 second) pulses.
Cook The Salmon: Pat the salmon dry and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle salmon with oil then press the walnut mixture into the top of each fillet (you may not need all the coating for the salmon). Roast salmon until the center is firm to the touch, it is light pink throughout, and the edges begin to flake, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
Make The Cilantro Dressing: Combine the herbs, 1/2 cup of the walnuts, the water or coconut water, the vinegar, and honey in a small food processor and blend until smooth and well combined. Season, as desired, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Assemble The Salad: Halve the fennel and onion and slice both into paper thin slices. Chop remaining 1/4 cup of walnuts. To serve, divide greens among serving dishes, top with fennel, red onion, chopped walnuts, and coconut, top with salmon and drizzle with a spoonful of the dressing.
