Roasted Kale and Salmon Detox Salad Recipe

Jan 23, 2018 · 26 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This roasted kale and salmon detox salad recipe is amazingly delicious, healthy and Whole30 compliant! The salmon sits atop a bed of kale and cherry tomatoes, and beautiful blood oranges add a hint of sweetness. And best of all, this salad can all be cooked in one pan, yay for sheet pan dinner recipes.

I never thought I’d be jazzed up about a salad, but when they are salads like this steak and nectarine salad, or this soft boiled egg spinach salad  or this kale and salmon one pan detox salad recipe that I’m sharing with you today, what can I say? They’re just good!

Healthy and delicious roasted kale and salmon detox saladAfter the holidays, I think some detox and healthy recipes are always in order to help balance things out. I always think back to when I did the Whole30 program (see overview here, here, here, and here for weekly overviews of what I ate on the program) and was so happy to realize this salad was a whole30 compliant one – if you’ve never heard of it, whole30 is basically a program focusing on eating whole foods where one cannot have added sugar, no grain, gluten, legumes, alcohol, no dairy. Whole 30 or not, this salad is amazing.

 

The most amazing and delicious kale and salmon saladThis salad has it all: a little crunch, a little citrus, delicious leafy greens and perfect flavor combinations.

THe best ever salad with roasted kale and salmonNormally, the way I make salmon is by simply baking it, but I bake it with a lemon on top. By baking it with the lemon, subtle citrus notes stay with the salmon. I took that same concept of baking the salmon with this salad, but this time I placed blood orange slices on top of the salmon. It added a pleasant sweetness. And can we talk about the gorgeousness of of blood oranges? I just cant get enough! I love the deep red (blood) color and unique orangy flavor. My only wish is that I could have a year round supply in my house (someone needs to invent abundant citrus trees in my back yard (I live in Wisconsin so these trees would have to be ok in winter, just throwing that out there…)

 

Super delicious roasted kale and salmon salad that is healthyAnd let’s not forget the amazingness that is kale! Kale is packed with tons of vitamins and nutritional value, and is perfect in this recipe.

The best recipe ever for a kale and salmon saladFresh, a little crispy around the edges, sweet acidity that counteract the earthy tones of the kale, the little tomatoes burst in your mouth, everything about this salad is fantastic!

      Hi Keith, thank you so much for the comment. I have definitely thought about green housing and it has been a dream to have a little green house where I can grow vegetables year round. Right now our house is super tiny with no room, but when we move I’m hoping to start a green house (I even have a compost in the basement that I use for our garden every year) do you have any resources? I always love learning more, my email is sweetphiblog@gmail.com

    I LOVE that you roast everything at the same time here. The ease makes me much more likely to make it. And I agree with you, the blood oranges are just stunning here, especially in contrast with the dark green kale. Stunning!
