Servings 2

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 6 ounces fresh salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Sugared Walnuts

  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon organic sugar

Wasabi Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 teaspoon prepared wasabi
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey

Salad

  • 4 cups finely chopped baby arugula
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped mango
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped jicama
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice warmed up
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix soy sauce, honey and mirin together in a bowl. Place salmon in bowl and toss to cover with sauce. Let marinade for 10-15 minutes. Bake salmon about 10-12 minutes until just cooked through (cooking time will depend on thickness of fish). Remove from oven and set aside.

Sugared Walnuts

  1. While salmon is baking, place walnuts and sugar in a small skillet. Heat over medium heat until sugar starts to melt. Using spatula, toss walnuts continuously to coat all pieces and toast nuts. Reduce heat to medium-low if necessary to avoid burning. After nuts are toasted, transfer to a dish to cool. Chop finely and set aside.

Wasabi Vinaigrette

  1. Mix all vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl.

Salad

  1. In a medium size bowl, toss arugula, mango, jicama, brown rice, and salmon. Drizzle some Wasabi Vinaigrette on top and toss well, breaking up salmon pieces.
  2. Divide salad between two salad plates and sprinkle with Sugared Walnuts and toasted sesame seeds.

Recipe Notes

Chopped radicchio would add a nice splash of red to this salad.
