Healthy Salmon Recipe
Here's a one-dish meal that's light, healthy, quick, and easy. I came up with the recipe one day while playing the "don't go to the store this week and use up what you have" game!
I started with a bag of washed and ready to use fresh vegetables that needed to be eaten. (Mann's Family Favorites are great to have on hand and they save a ton of prep time and come in a wide variety of choices.) I then searched my pantry and refrigerator and the following is what I came up with. It's a very light and flavorful dish, good by itself or along with some high quality crackers or a nice loaf of bread. I like it with a side salad of sliced cucumber and avocado, drizzled with vinegar and olive oil, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Asian Salmon Slaw
- 12 oz bag Mann's Rainbow Salad
- 1 7-oz can boneless, skinless salmon, drained and chunked into small pieces
- 1/2 cup walnut halves (not chopped)
- 1/2 large onion, sliced thin then cut in half and separated
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T sesame seeds, toasted
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 T spicy brown mustard (or Dijon)
- 1 T honey
- 2-3 T sushi ginger, chopped small
- 1 t sea salt
- Toast sesame seeds in small fry pan over medium high heat until brown, about 5 minutes, shaking pan often. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, honey, ginger, and salt.
- In a large pan with a cover, heat the oil over medium high until hot. Add the onion, rainbow vegetables, and walnuts. Stir fry about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice mixture. Add the salmon and stir gently. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in sesame seeds. Delicious served warm, room temperature or cold the next day.
Slym Cook says: SAM's club sells a premium quality canned Atlantic Salmon that is excellent. It's delicious right out of the can! You can usually find the sushi ginger in the international aisle at the grocery store.
