Salmon Super Salad

I've had something similar to this recently in a restaurant and really enjoyed it.  It's nice and light but has loads of vegetables in it.  TMy secret cheat ingredient is the balsamic glaze which I buy from Tesco's Ingredients range.  It's thicker and sweeter than balasamic vinegar and I like drizzling it over the salad before serving.

  • Salmon fillets
  • Lemon juice
  • Oil
  • Seasoning
  • Spinach, washed
  • French beans, topped and tailed
  • Brocolli, cut into florets
  • Carrot, cut into thin strips

Preheat oven to 200C.  Oil an ovenproof dish and place the salmon fillets in skin side down.  Add  a splash of lemon juice and season.  Pop in oven uncovered for 20 minutes.

Prepare the salad in individual dishes.  Start with the spinach leaves, then top with the other vegetables around the outside.

Take the salmon out of the oven and gently remove the skin with a fork.

Place one salmon fillet on each salad dish and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.

Variations- Try with chargrilled chicken breast, pomegrante seeds, butternut squash, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, anything you like!  Both children enjoyed this but without the glaze :)
