I am pretty sure that I could LIVE off of this combo! Salmon is my favorite and I love that you paired it with that superfresh apple salad! Pinned!
Seriously! Your salmon is GORGEOUS. I love the color combination between the salmon, kale, and poms 😀
Salmon is definitely my go to dinner. You can never go wrong, love the salad combo.
Look so delicious. We all adore salmon and fennel.
what a delicious lineup, and salmon is such a crowd pleaser
This salmon looks and sounds amazing, Lexi. Definitely adding this recipe to my must-make list!
Love the salmon recipe. Looks so good
What a great recipe to start off the new year! Love the combination of apple and fennel here. I know this is my kind of salad when I see garlic flavors massaged into kale!
I’ve been wandering what to do with the salmon and kale in my refrigerator. Thanks for the recipe, I can’t wait to try it.
I am making this this weekend, or this week! Looks delicious, and I’ve been in the mood for salmon. Thanks, and thanks for the fabulous giveaway opportunities! I’m turning a leaf in my nutrition and all of you are great inspirations! Happy to be following you all, and I look forward to what is to come!
This looks amazing, and I love the simplicity! Going in a Real Food Meal Plan ASAP!
I make salmon regularly during the week for dinner and always am searching for new ways to cook it! I definitely must try out your roasted salmon with apple and fennel salad, it sounds (and looks) so delicious.
That garlicky kale has me dreaming about dinner time already. Can’t wait to try the whole dinner!
Salmon is my favorite protein, and I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it. I love apple and fennel together, so this sounds like a real winner! Thank you.
Thank YOU!
I love the simplicity of your recipes Lexie! The salmon and kale alone is one that I know I will make very soon!
This whole dish looks amazing! Gorgeous pics!
I have set smaller goals for myself so that they are more attainable and will help over time with my larger goals. This particular dish looks great and I can’t wait to give it a try (plus it looks pretty simple to make)! Happy New Year!
I can not stand Salmon but my family loves it. I was wondering if anyone has substituted the Salmon for tilapia? I don’t eat alot of fish but I love Tilapia.

The crispness and clean, bright flavors of fennel and apple go so well together, especially in autumn as a change-up to the heavier dishes that become more familiar. I’ve yet to pair them with salmon and poms — lovely! Thanks, and cheers.
I love anything with roasted garlic. Sometimes eat it for breakfast on toast. It’s super mild that way and extremely healthy!
