How to Make a Salmon and Mango Salad

STEP ONE: Prepare the Salmon

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Marinate the salmon fillets in the mixture for 10 minutes.

Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then flake into large pieces.

STEP TWO: Prepare the Salad

In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce, watercress, diced mango, sliced cucumber, radishes, red onion, and green onions.

Toss the salad gently to mix the ingredients.

STEP THREE: Assemble the Salad

Place the flaked salmon on top of the mixed salad.

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad.

STEP FOUR: Add the Dressing

Drizzle citrus vinaigrette over the entire salad just before serving.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Reheat the salmon gently in a skillet over low heat or enjoy it cold.
