Total Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 4 salmon fillets (4 oz each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained
- 1 pkg (5 oz) baby spinach
- 1 pkg (5 oz) power greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, optional
- Sliced green onions, optional
- Plain Greek yogurt, optional
Method
1. Preheat oven to 425˚˚F. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, mustard, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
2. Place salmon in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle one teaspoon dressing on each fillet, reserving the remaining amount for the salad. Bake salmon until it flakes easily, 8 to 12 minutes or until desired doneness.
3. Combine quinoa, chickpeas, spinach, power greens, tomatoes, and remaining dressing in a large bowl. Toss until well combined and coated.
4. To serve, divide salad between 4 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. If desired, sprinkle with sliced almonds, green onions and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
