Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450° F.

  • On a baking sheet, toss the salmon with half of the balsamic sauce and arrange in an even layer. Arrange the asparagus around the salmon, toss with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. During the last minute, switch the oven to broil and broil until lightly caramelized. Toss the salmon with the remaining balsamic sauce.
  • Meanwhile, combine the avocado with 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, herbs, nuts/seeds, and feta in a bowl. Season with salt.
  • Spoon the asparagus and salmon over the bowls of rice. Top with lots of the avocado/feta salad mix. Enjoy!
