I make this at least once a week for lunch! You can prepare the entire thing the night before and steam your veggies in the microwave at work! Prep and cook time is about 25 min combined.
Serves 1 - Multiply recipe for appropriate service
Salmon Fillet (6-8 ounces)
2 c. chopped romaine
2-3 broccoli flowerettes
2-3 small baby-red potatoes
1/8 c. chopped zucchini
1/8c. chopped cucumber
1/8 c. chopped peppers
2 Tbsp. diced red-onion
1 Tbsp Pine Nuts
Prepare Salmon:
The easiest and quickest way to prepare simple salmon is to make a foil envelope and bake in the oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Take salmon and place on piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Fold foil in half and close the sides to keep air/steam from escaping. Place on baking sheet in the center of the oven. Depending on the thickness of the fillet, cooking should take only 10-15 minutes. When cooked, you should be able to pull apart the "flakes" easily with a fork.
The key to good fish is not to overcook. Overcooking fish will make it very tough and dry. You want the translucent texture of the fish to be completely gone, but it should still be juicy.
While your salmon is cooking place potatoes in glass microwave safe dish, submerged halfway in water. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook in microwave for 3-5 minutes, until they are tender to a fork.
Steam broccoli stove top or in microwave (same directions as potatoes).
Assemble lettuces, and chopped veggies on large plate. Place cooked salmon and steamed veggies on top and finish with pine nuts and dressing.
A simple dressing is:
3Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1-2 crushed garlic cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1Tbsp honey
1/2 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
