Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 Salmon Fillets
  • 1 cup Quinoa - rinsed
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock - or vegetable or water
  • Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes - halved
  • ½ Cucumber - diced into ½-inch pieces
  • ¼ Red Onion - finely sliced
  • ½ cup Kalamata Olives - pitted and halved
  • 4 cups Romaine Lettuce - chopped
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese - crumbled

For the green goddess dressing:

  • ¼ cup Greek Yogurt
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 small clove Garlic
  • 1 packed cup Mixed Fresh Herbs - parsley, basil, chives, dill etc
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt - to taste
  • Water - to loosen if needed

Instructions
 

  • Cook the quinoa by adding it to a saucepan with the water or stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 12-15 minutes until fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile season the salmon with sea salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until just cooked through and flaky. Set aside.
  • Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add a splash of water if needed to reach a pourable consistency, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives and romaine lettuce and toss gently to mix with half the dressing.
  • Divide the salad between 4 bowls and top each with a piece of salmon.
  • Crumble over the feta and drizzle with more dressing if desired. Serve.
