Ingredients

  • 1 pound skin-on salmon fillet
  • 5 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (such as A Taste of Thai), divided
  • ¼ cup plus 1 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • .50 cup thinly sliced shallot (from 1 large shallot)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes), divided
  • 6 ounces fresh sugar snap peas (2 cups), strings removed
  • 1 5-oz. container baby arugula
  • 2 avocados, thinly sliced
  • 3 radishes, sliced
  • 1 cup loosely packed chopped fresh mint and/or cilantro
  • ¼ cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stir together 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce and 1 tablespoon oil; spread over salmon. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake until salmon is cooked to medium doneness, 16 to 18 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place shallot in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/8 teaspoon salt, stirring to combine.
  3. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high. Cook peas for 1 minute. Drain, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Slice in half lengthwise.
  4. Whisk 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl.
  5. Place arugula in a large bowl; add half of sweet chili sauce dressing and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, tossing to combine. Transfer to a platter or plates. Break cooled salmon into large pieces and place on arugula with peas, avocados, radishes, and shallot (without liquid). Top with herbs, sunflower seeds, and pepper. Serve with remaining dressing.
