Baked Salmon Salad
Sep 21, 2021A warm salad is a great way to work your veggies and leafy greens into your diet in the cooler seasons.
Serves: 2 Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients:
Salmon
2 Ib salmon
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
½ Tbsp. olive oil
Dressing
2 Tbsp. olive or avocado oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
2-3 cloves of garlic minced
pepper
Salad
4-6 kale leaves
1 large or 2 small yellow onions sliced
1 cup of mushrooms sliced
2 apples halved and sliced
8 walnuts chopped
½ cup uncooked quinoa
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the salmon, pat dry and place on a baking sheet with tinfoil or reusable cooking sheet. Prepare the salmon sauce and spoon onto salmon, coating completely. Top with pepper. Place in the oven once preheated for 20-30 minutes. Middle of the salmon should flake nicely but still be a nice pink colour.
2. Prepare onions, mushrooms and apples and place in a frying pan with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, on low heat. Cook slowly, we want to avoid frying. Stir occasionally.
3. Cook quinoa in a sauce pan with 1 cup of water. Cook until water is absorbed. About 10 minutes.
4. Remove stems, and wash kale. Chop finely and place in a bowl.
5. Mix together the kale, quinoa and salad dressing. Top with the onion, mushrooms and apples once soft, and finish off with the salmon on top with some freshly ground pepper.
