Instructions

For the salmon:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the salmon filets skin side down on the baking sheet. Season with salt.
  • In a small bowl, mix together butter, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, chili crunch, sesame oil, and garlic.
  • Pour half the sauce over the pieces of salmon.
  • Put it in the oven and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Baste the salmon with some more sauce. Continue cooking for 3-5 more minutes, until the salmon reaches your desired degree of doneness. I aim for 130°F(50°C) internal temperature.

For the salad:

  • Add the kale to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in the olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and squeeze of lemon juice. Lightly massage it for 1 minute to help soften the kale.
  • Shake all dressing ingredients in a jar until smooth.
  • Add remaining salad ingredients to the bowl. Pour on half the dressing and toss. Add more dressing, if desired.
