Make

Heat oven to 425F / 218C. Line a sheet pan with foil and place salmon, skin-side down on top. Pat dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Divide dressing in half. Whisk first half of dressing with maple syrup and brush over surface of salmon. Bake salmon until it flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on thickness of the salmon and your desired doneness (1 ½” / 3.75 cm thick salmon takes about 20 minutes).
Whisk second half of dressing with olive oil. Combine fennel, radicchio, oranges, cashews and mint leaves. Just before serving, toss salad in dressing.
Serve salmon with salad on the side and enjoy!
