Lemon Pepper Salmon & Spinach Salad

Eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated!  Simple and quick meal ideas always works for me.  If you stick with the concept of eating a protein with vegetables at each meal, you will be well on your way to making positive changes to your overall health.  This is a delicious 30-minute meal.

First, season the salmon with Ms. Dash Lemon Pepper seasoning.  You might be wondering why I use Ms. Dash?  I checked the ingredients and there is no MSG.  The list of ingredients include herbs that I would ordinarily use for many of the meals I prepare such as basil, oregano, celery seed, bay, savory, thyme, cumin, rosemary marjoram and coriander.  Ms. Dash saves time by putting it all together and without any salt.

Spray pan or griddle with olive oil.  Heat until warm, then add the salmon.  Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until meat is a pale pink and golden brown on both sides.  Over cooking salmon will make it dry.

 

Grab a plate, add a hand full of spinach, 1/2 small tomato (diced), and 2 inch cucumber (diced).  Sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese and top with a lite salad dressing.  I used balsamic vinaigrette.  Add the salmon and Bon Appetit!
