Warm Salmon Salad

I’m not going to lie, the idea of a salad in the winter is not exactly appealing to me. I prefer warm food when it’s cold out, so hooray for this Warm Salmon Salad!

So when I saw this recipe for a Supercharged Salmon Salad, I was pretty pumped.

The original recipe used raw kale and shaved Brussels sprouts to make a cold salad, but it can easily be adapted to be a warm, comforting dish.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 2 (6-oz.) wild salmon fillet
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups roughly chopped lacinato kale
  • 3 ounces shredded Brussels sprouts (about 1 cup)
  • 1/3 cup steamed and peeled beets (you can buy precooked beets)
