Mom To Mom – Recipe for salmon salad

Speaker 1: Today on Mom to Mom, we’ve got a great healthy weeknight recipe for you. Alright moms, I’ve got Chef Kate back with us. Girl-
Kate: It’s a new year.
Speaker 1: It’s a new year and happy New Year. And everybody’s got their New Year’s resolutions. They want to eat healthier, feel healthier.
Kate: I’ve got the perfect salad.
Speaker 1: You’ve got it for us today.
Kate: I do and it’s quick and easy. But, it’s also filling. So, you’re not gonna feel deprived.
Speaker 1: Let’s do it.
Kate: Add your farro, water and veggie stock to a pot over medium heat. And boil for about 20 minutes. Once the farro’s cooked, set it aside. Toast the nuts over medium heat in a dry skillet for three to four minutes. Keeping a really close eye on them not to burn. Set aside. Use that same skillet to add your salmon, which has been seasoned with Celtic salt. And cook for about four to five minutes per side until your desired doneness. In the meantime, you’re gonna want to grate your carrot into a large bowl, add your cranberries. Thinly slice the white part of the green onion, saving the greens for garnish and add in nuts. Add the spinach that you’ve roughly chopped and set aside. Whisk together the lemon zest and lemon juice, two tablespoons of olive oil, Celtic salt and red pepper. And add the cooked farro in with the spinach in the bowl. Cover with the dressing and toss everything really well. Taste and adjust your seasonings.
To plate it up, put the salad on first. Top with salmon. Garnish with your green onion. Finish with some olive oil and serve.
Okay, so if you do your farro in advance … and I like to do it in a rice cooker, which makes it really simple. This whole meal comes together in ten minutes. While the salmon’s cooking, you can assemble the salad.
Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
Kate: Perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
Speaker 1: That is everything.
Kate: So, I’m gonna finish off with a little olive oil and let’s dive in.
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. So good. Alright moms, for this recipe and more connect with me on Facebook. I’ll see you all next week.
