In this post, I’m going to give away two fish recipes. The first one-baked salmon salad. In one of my previous posts, I promised I’d tell how to use some of the food prepared for the dilled salmon and fresh asparagus the next day. Keeping my promise 🙂 The second recipe is baked halibut with green beans. And remember, all these recipes are about keeping it tasty and healthy.
SALMON SALAD
Always cook extra salmon so that you can enjoy healthy salads like this one. 2 serves.
BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 to 3 tablespoons salmon sauce (from Dilled Salmon and Asparagus)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
4 cups baby romaine salad greens, washed and dried
6 ounces leftover salmon, broken into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1⁄2 red bell pepper, chopped/cherry tomatoes
Leftover asparagus, cut into 2.5 cm pieces or leave intact.
1. Mix the vinaigrette in a blender.
2. Mix the lettuce, salmon, dill, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and asparagus in a salad bowl.
3. Pour the dressing on the salad, toss, and serve.
BAKED HALIBUT WITH GREEN BEANS
This tart and creamy sauce is the perfect complement to the mild flavor
of halibut.
