Salmon Salad

Salmon is actually something we eat pretty frequently. One of my favorite preparations is grilled over salad. I always pair it with fruit and nuts and some sort of olive oil vinaigrette. Today, Bob happened to be slicing up a fresh pineapple while i was cooking the salmon and i decided to use that as the fruit. YUM!!!

(I can never remember to take a picture BEFORE i start eating...)


Step 1: Cook your Salmon
Step 2: While the salmon is cooking, prep your salad
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 Tbs Black Walnuts
  • 1-2 Fresh pineapple rings
  • Drizzle with olive oil and an acid. I had pineapple balsamic, so i used that, but some pineapple juice would work equally great!
Step 3: Serve Salmon over salad, drizzle with a little more vinegar/pineapple juice and devour!

Feel free to mix up your fruit combos. We frequently do strawberries with goat cheese and balsamic, cranberry and walnut, and a grapejuice vinaigrette is super yummy with salmon!
