Honey garlic salmon salad recipe

December 18, 2020

This honey garlic salad is not only tasty but very filling. I had this for dinner last night after an excessive carb haul. I particularly loved the freshness of the vegetable juxtaposition the tenderness of the salmon. The combination was, as they say, a match made in food heaven.


I usually enjoy preparing salmon and have been a strong proponent of cooking the entire fish. When I lived in New York, and we’d have a large group over, I’d bake an entire salmon. Even though it presented well, and there was a lot to go around, the seasoning wasn’t fully captured since it was so meaty. Salmon filets and streak are great for marrying flavors. You get that right balance of seasoning and meat.


Last night, when my daughter mentioned that she wanted salmon, I jumped at the opportunity since this picky eater trends more toward chicken and crustaceans. Even though she wished for hers to be prepared with my Mediterranean recipe with baked bread, I wanted to do something different for my husband and me. We felt like honey garlic salmon salad would work just fine.

Although I had used a light dressing for the tomatoes, (black pepper and olive oil), I also used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing for this salad, it worked great with all the ingredients.

So here’s my recipe for this honey garlic salmon salad.

      Hi Nikki, yes. I used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I also added some olive oil and black pepper to the cherry tomatoes.

Meet Mayma

Sakafete! Growing up in Dominica, food was central to socializing and in abundance. Cooking with my family was one of the highlights of my youth. We grew our produce and raised livestock, which often made it to our kitchen table. With my mother and grandmother's guidance, I discovered my passion for cooking at age 9. We used lots of verbal recipes then. Today, I share those culinary experiences with my children, using the fundamentals of Dominican cooking and making it our own. I'm not a trained cook/chef, however, as I embark on my food journey, I invite you to experience foods from the Caribbean island of Dominica. Let's cook!
