Lemon-Herb Salmon & Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared salmon flaked into a zesty lemon-herb quinoa salad with crisp cucumbers and a velvety Greek yogurt dressing.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz salmon fillet
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh dill
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup red bell pepper
2 tbsp red onion
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side until fully cooked and opaque.
Remove the salmon from the heat and let it cool completely before flaking it into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and the remaining salt and pepper until the dressing is smooth.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion to the bowl with the dressing.
Gently fold the flaked salmon into the salad mixture until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing and high-protein lunch option.
