Citrus Salmon with Greens Plus


Citrus Salmon with Greens Plus

I love this recipe because the citrus in the asparagus complements the citrus in the fish. The lemon not only adds great flavour but it also keeps the fish moist and tender.

What you Need:

1 Fillet of Salmon
½ Lemon
1 tsp Coarse sea salt
1 tsp Black ground pepper
1 tsp. Dill
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch of Asparagus
½ lime

How to make it Happen:


Combine salt, pepper and dill together in a separate bowl and set aside.

Massage the salmon fillet with extra virgin olive oil. Add ½ tsp. salt, ½ tsp. pepper and 1 tsp. of dill to the salmon, making sure all of the sides are coated with the mixture.

After applying the dry mixture to the fish, cut the lemon into slices and arrange on top of the uncooked fish.

Bake the salmon at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Next, take the asparagus and cut or snap off the stems. Wash and dry asparagus and arrange on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and add ½ tsp. pepper, ½ tsp. salt and the juice of a lime.

Bake the asparagus in the oven at 250 degrees for 7-10 minutes.

Greens Plus

What you Need:


1 cup mixed greens
2-3 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
½ tsp. coarse sea salt
½ tsp. black ground pepper
½ tsp. honey
½ tsp. garlic powder
1/3 cup of black pitted olives

How to make it Happen:


Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and honey until the ingredients are combined.

Drizzle the vinegar and olive oil dressing on top of the mixed greens and add the black pitted olives.
