Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs fresh wild-caught salmon
• 3 Michigan Gala apples, cored and halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Toss apple halves with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper; arrange on a sheet pan and roast for 12–15 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
3. Meanwhile, pat salmon dry and season skin-side and flesh-side with salt and pepper.
4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until skin is crispy; flip gently and cook flesh-side for 3–4 minutes until opaque throughout and internal temperature reaches 145°F (check with a food thermometer at the thickest point).
6. Whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey for a simple dressing.
