Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Sesame Salmon
  • 4 5 oz Salmon Filets
  • 4 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
Salad
  • 8 cups mixed greens
  • 1 mango cubed
  • 1 small jicama sliced into bite sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper
Dressing
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Wash the red bell pepper and roast at 500 degrees for 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.
  3. Once cooked, immediately transfer to a plastic bag and allow it to steam and cool for 15 minutes while you prepare the salmon and salad toppings. Once it's done steaming, the skin will easily come right off as well as the stem and seeds. Slice into bite sized pieces and set aside.
  4. Pat your salmon dry, rub or spray with oil, and coat generously with sesame seeds, pressing the seeds down so they adhere.
  5. Air fry at 400 for 5-8 minutes, depending on your doneness preference.
  6. Slice the mango and jicama into bite sized pieces.
  7. While the salmon cooks, make the dressing by shaking or whisking all the ingredients together.
  8. Assemble your salad starting with mixed greens, mango, jicama, roasted red peppers, dress generously with the dressing and toss to combine. Plate the salmon on top and serve! This is delicious warm or served cold, if you would like to store it in the fridge prior to serving.
