For those of you that think of salad as merely boring rabbit food, here’s a hearty and satisfying salmon salad for you to try. Just had it last night for dinner…delicious!

Ingredients (serves 1-2)
1 lb salmon
1/2 cup red kidney beans (rinsed, drained)
lettuce
fresh spinach
1/2 teaspoon garlic paste (spreads better)
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
your favorite balsamic vinegar (my recommendation: Click here – Bistro blends)
red chili flakes (add to taste)

Salmon recipe
On salmon: shake salt, pepper and squeeze lemon. Gently rub garlic and ginger paste into salmon. Drizzle soy sauce. Let sit for 10 minutes. Lastly, drizzle 1 TBL e.v. olive oil on salmon (remaining 2 TBL olive oil for salads). Put this side down on foil lined tray. Place in broiler/grill for 4 minutes. Skin side is up, so gently remove skin and discard. Flip salmon. Broil/grill 4 more minutes.

Salad recipe
Flake salmon, remove any bones. Place flaked de-boned salmon aside. Fill 2 bowls with lettuce and fresh spinach. Add salmon (include the drippings) and red kidney beans. Drizzle remainder e.v. olive oil and balsamic vinegar on salads. Add red chili flakes, and a dash of salt & pepper to taste. Toss.
