Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon fillets and coat evenly. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

    Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated salmon, skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice glaze. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

      Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and feta cheese (if using). Toss gently to combine.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well blended.

          Assemble the Salad: Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces over the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss the salad lightly.

            Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for garnish.

              Serve: Plate the salad and serve immediately, enjoying the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
