This salmon salad recipe is made with smoky glazed salmon, crunchy charred lettuce, and juicy grilled pineapple. Plus, there’s a sweet and spicy honey sriracha dressing that doubles as a glaze for the salmon!
Ingredients
Scale
For the Honey Sriracha Salmon
- 1 pound sockeye salmon
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 teaspoons sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 garlic clove, minced
For the Salad
- 1 head of romaine, halve
- 3 spears fresh pineapple
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1 cup diced red pepper
- optional: garnish with chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F.
- In a small bowl add honey, lime juice, sriracha, ground ginger, smoked paprika and minced garlic. Whisk together.
- Drizzle about half the mixture over raw salmon. Rub the sauce into the flesh of the salmon. Set the remaining sauce aside.
- Spray grill grates with cooking spray or rub down with canola oil. Place salmon on the grill flesh side down first. Grill for 4-5 minutes. (while the salmon is cooking, season the skin side with a little bite of salt, this will help it peel off more easily later). Flip the salmon and grill on the skin side for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Remove salmon from the grill and let rest.
- In the meantime, add pineapple spears to the grill along with the halved romaine lettuce heads. Grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side (until there are slight grill marks) and the romaine lettuce 2-3 minutes until the lettuce is slightly charred.
- Remove them both from the grill.
- Chop up the charred lettuce and add it to a large bowl along with the grilled pineapple (cut into cubes) sugar snap peas, diced red pepper and then the salmon.
- Serve salad with the remaining dressing on the side.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- To store. Refrigerate the dressing and the cooled salad in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days.
- To reheat. If you’d like to reheat the salmon, cover the bottom of a saucepan with oil and set it over medium-low heat. Add the salmon, cover the saucepan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is warmed through.
