How to Make Salmon Salad With Bright Spring Vegetables

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus.

  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  5. Drain vegetables and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  6. Drain again and set aside.
  7. Season 1 pound salmon fillet with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Place salmon in a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  9. Let salmon cool for 5-8 minutes before flaking.
  10. In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces mixed greens, 1 cup shelled edamame, 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes, cooked asparagus, and sugar snap peas.
  11. Add flaked salmon to the salad.
  12. Drizzle with your favorite dressing (Recipe #499119 recommended, or try a sesame ginger dressing for an Asian twist).
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
