Slow Roasted Salmon Citrus Salad is a delicious, healthy main course salad that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner throughout the week. I’ve been having this salmon salad for dinner at least two times a week the last couple of weeks. Most of the ingredients can be prepped ahead of time, so all you have to do is assemble the salad right before you want to eat. Slow roasted citrus salmon has become my favorite way of preparing salmon because it comes out perfectly cooked every time, never overcooked.

This Slow Roasted Salmon Citrus Salad was inspired by Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat. Simple, fresh ingredients come together in this well balanced salad that is visually beautiful, and lightly, but well seasoned (with flakey salt). I love the combination of grapefruit and avocado, and here, I’ve used a combination of citrus fruits – blood oranges, cara cara oranges and pink grapefruit. In addition, roasted beets go really well with oranges.

There are a lot of textures in this salad, which makes it fun to eat – juicy citrus fruits, creamy tomato, crunchy cucumbers, and sweet roasted beets. Pickled onions are optional, but add an extra acidic note that perks up this main course salad.

If you make the slow roasted citrus salmon, roast a batch of beets, and make the vinaigrette early in the week, you can enjoy this salad for dinner two to three times a week.
