Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. Place salmon fillet skin-side down on the baking sheet next to the vegetables. Brush with remaining honey glaze.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  6. While salmon roasts, prepare the salad: In a bowl, combine arugula, radishes, tomatoes, toasted walnuts, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 tsp honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, and chopped dill. Toss gently.
  7. Remove salmon and vegetables from oven. Let salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
