Ingredients
  

For the salmon

  • 1 lb salmon cut into 4 portions
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons green onions for garnish
  • sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Citrus Soy Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

For the salad

  • 8 cups green leaf lettuce chopped
  • 2 oranges cut into segments
  • 2 small avocados chopped
  • 3 radishes thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Combine the soy sauce, orange juice, honey, olive oil, sesame oil, and ginger powder in a bowl. Pour it over the salmon and allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes (preferably an hour).
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon skin side up and cook for a few minutes (be sure to reserve the leftover marinade to turn into a glaze in the next step). Then flip and cook for another 3 minutes or so or until the salmon is cooked through (cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the salmon). Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
  • To turn the leftover marinade into a glaze, add it to a saucepan and bring it a boil for a couple of minutes (its important to let it boil for awhile to kill off any bacteria). In a small cup, add cornstarch to 1/4 cup water and stir to create a slurry. Add it to the saucepan and whisk together, bringing it to a boil again. Remove glaze. Brush on top of salmon. Sprinkle salmon with sesame seeds and green onions.
  • To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a jar and shake to combine.
  • Add the lettuce and remaining salad ingredients to bowls. Add as much dressing as desired to each salad, then top each with the salmon. Serve.
