Instructions
- If using fresh salmon, spray a skillet with propellant-free cooking oil spray {avocado, coconut, or extra virgin olive oil} and warm over medium heat. Add salmon and cook about 5 to 10 minutes on each side or until salmon is cooked through. Set aside to cool. If using pouches of salmon, drain liquid before using.
- If using asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower, add steaming basket to a saucepan. Fill with water up to bottom of steaming basket. Place on stove over high heat. Add vegetables. Cover and cook until vegetables are just tender 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook or vegetables will loose their color. You can also use fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets.
- Wash salad greens. Add to a salad spinner to remove excess water. Divide greens among 2 pasta bowls or 2 large dinner plates. Top each salad with half of the salmon as pictured.
