Summer salad does not get better than this. Succulent baked salmon cooked and topped with flavorful strawberry balsamic glaze and served on a crisp salad.

BAKED SALMON SALAD

I love a good summer salad almost as much as I love teasing my friends with pictures of what I make. It’s my own little ploy to get them to come and visit. Tasty food and good company is all I would need to have a good time, and there is definitely some good food happening here. I teased my friend with this salad quite a bit while making it, and I’m hoping she will come over to taste is pretty soon because this salad needs to be shared.

Let me tell you, this salad made me weak in the knees. Soft, flaky baked salmon is perfectly complemented with a sweet and tangy strawberry balsamic glaze. I’ve already confessed my love for balsamic vinegars to you and a few days ago, I introduced my best friend to white balsamic vinegar. Ever since I discovered it myself a couple of years ago, I feel like it’s my job to let others know about it so they can fall in love with both balsamic vinegars.

Reduces balsamic vinegar is way too addicting to. I can eat my weight in caprese salad if it’s made with reduced balsamic vinegar. When it comes to a caprese salad, I like it with either reduced white balsamic or regular dark balsamic. They are both delightful in their own way. When it comes to seafood, I definitely give the preference to the regular balsamic, like with this salmon or my shrimp salad.

This whole salad will take you about 25 minutes to make. It’s really a nice dinner or lunch option because of how quick and easy it is. The glaze can be cooked in about as long as your oven pre-heats, saving a good amount of time. Salmon also bakes pretty quickly, just make sure to note the size and thickness of your salmon fillets. When making more than one at once, try to get salmon fillets that are the same in size and thickness so they cook evenly.

    THIS RECIPE SOUNDS INTERESTING. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS THOUGH. DID YOU USE DARK OR LIGHT BROWN SUGAR….MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN TASTE. ALSO I DIDN’T SEE ANY STRAWBERRIES OR SHALLOTS IN THE COOKED DOWN BASALTIC GLAZE OVER THE SALMON. DID THEY COOK DOWN OR DID YOU STRAIN THEM OUT.

    LOOK FORWRD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

      Hi Sherry,
      I normally use light brown sugar, I save dark for only some baked goods, so I did use light Strawberries and shallots do cook down and break down as the vinegar cooks, you can see little dark spots over salmon, that’s what it is. I didn’t strain it.
      I hope yo enjoy it!
      Thank you 🙂

    Just made this and was absolutely delicious! I used a bed of arugula and spinach mix. Added walnuts, sliced apples and dried cranberries. Perfect summer salad!

    Love this recipe! My husband cooked the salmon on the BBQ grill instead of cooking the salmon in the oven. I just drizzled the Balsamic glaze over the salmon portions once I placed it on top of the salad. I added sliced almonds to the salad as well. Big hit with our dinner guests.
