Seared Salmon with Lentil and Kale Salad
Pan-seared salmon served over a hearty bed of massaged kale, protein-rich lentils, and quinoa, finished with a zesty lemon-dijon vinaigrette and toasted walnuts.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Raw Kale
0.25 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Walnuts
1 tsp Hemp Seeds
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press lightly with a spatula to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is cooked halfway through.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to create the dressing.
Add the chopped kale to the bowl and massage the leaves with your hands for about 2 minutes until they become dark green and tender.
Toss the massaged kale with the cooked lentils, quinoa, and hemp seeds until well combined.
Transfer the salad to a plate and top with the seared salmon and a sprinkle of chopped toasted walnuts.
