Lifestyle Approved

Servings: 2 

Ingredients: 

Salmon: 

8-12 oz wild-caught salmon, cut in half

1 egg

1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup almonds, finely ground in a blender (or 1/2 cup almond flour)

3 Tbsp. olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil

sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Salad Base:

3 cups spinach and/or kale

1 cup of pomegranate seeds 

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup blueberries

1 ripe avocado, sliced

optional topping: finely grated parmesan cheese

Salad Dressing:

1/2 cup olive oil

1 Tbsp. dijon mustard

1 Tbsp. raw local honey

2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 

    In a bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, almonds, and seasoning. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. In a frying pan, melt the oil using medium-low heat. Dip the salmon pieces in egg and then cover it with the dry mixture. Place it in the oil and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your salmon. Just be sure it is cooked through. Put all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour over the base of the salad before adding your salmon pieces on top.
