Categories: fish, salad

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, cut in half (to fit in a steamer basket)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Juice from 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
  • 8 cups mixed baby greens
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 large orange, pith and peel removed, segments separated
  • almonds, toasted
  • 5 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (Stonehouse Blood Orange Olive Oil if you have it)
  • 1/4 cup white Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger

Directions

  1. Season fish with salt, pepper, cumin, and lime juice and steam in a bamboo steamer or a pot with a steamer insert until tender, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside 10 minutes to cool.

  2. Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

  3. With a fork, coarsely flake the fish; toss with greens and just enough dressing to lightly coat leaves.

  4. Divide among 4 plates. Arrange avocado slices and orange sections on top of each salad and drizzle lightly with dressing. Top with almonds.
