Ingredients:

Salad Ingredients:

1 crisp apple, julienned
60 grams julienne radish
1 large stalk celery, julienned
Juice of half a lemon
15 milliliters olive oil
½ cup microgreens
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Salmon Ingredients:

120 milliliters maple syrup
30 grams whole-grain mustard
4, 170-gram pieces of salmon
30 milliliters avocado or vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to broil and position the rack 6 inches from the heat source. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil, then drizzle with 15 milliliters of oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Place the salmon pieces on the prepared pan, spacing them a few inches apart.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned apple, radish, and celery. Toss with lemon juice and olive oil, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine maple syrup and whole-grain mustard. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes until the mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Drizzle the remaining oil over the salmon pieces and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the pan in the oven and broil for 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and brush each piece of salmon with the maple-mustard sauce. Return to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes more. Repeat the process of brushing with sauce and broiling for an additional 1-2 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and glazed.
Gently toss the microgreens with the prepared apple-radish-celery salad. Serve the salad either beneath or atop the salmon pieces, drizzling with the remaining maple-mustard sauce.

Notes:

Feel free to adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the maple-mustard sauce according to your preference by varying the proportions of maple syrup and whole-grain mustard.
For a variation, try substituting different types of mustard or adding a dash of hot sauce to the maple-mustard sauce for an extra kick.
Ensure the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness, as cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
