Ingredients
  

  • 1 - 24 oz. Cedar Bay Grilling Company Cedar Planked Atlantic Salmon Applewood with Orange & Ginger, or 24 oz. of Grilled Salmon.
  • 2 Large Avocados sliced
  • 8 ripe peaches sliced in half, pit removed
  • 1/2 Cup Blue Cheese Crumbles
  • 8 Cups baby spring mix washed & dried
  • 1/2 Cup chopped pecans
  • 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Kraft Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
  • 1/3 Cup Peach jam

Instructions
 

  • In a small skillet, over medium heat, add 4 Tablespoon sugar. Shake skillet to evenly distribute sugar over bottom of skillet. Place skillet on the stove over heat. Allow sugar to slowly melt and caramelize without stirring.
  • When sugar is almost caramelized remove skillet from heat and add chopped pecans. Stir quickly and pour onto silicone mat or parchment paper. Allow to cool completely.
  • Mean while, in a small bowl mix together balsamic dressing and peach jam. Whisk together until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve salad.
  • Place cooled candied pecans in zip lock bag and smash with rolling pin into small bite sized pieces.
  • Preheat grill, or oven, to 425°. Place Cedar Bay Salmon on plank directly on the grill grate. Note you can use regular grilled salmon. You do not have to use a prepackaged marinated Salmon for this recipe.
  • Add peach halves on outer edges of grill. Check peaches during grilling and remove when juices begin to release and peaches have grill markings.
  • Close lid and cook Salmon for 18 minutes or until salmon is firm and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove Salmon and allow to cool slightly as you begin to assemble salads. Set 4 peach halves aside and dice up remaining peach halves.
  • Place two cups of spring mix on each plate. Sprinkle each salad with half a diced peach. Add 5-6 slices of avocado, fanned out, on one side of salad. Sprinkle each salad with blue cheese crumbles and candied pecans.
  • Cut Salmon into 3-4 inch wide pieces. Slide a sharp knife under the bottom of each slice of fish to remove skin. Place 1 slice of Salmon in the center of each salad. Add one whole peach half next to the salmon.
  • Drizzle each salad with 4-5 Tablespoons salad dressing. Garnish with additional candied pecans. Serve Immediately.
