Join me on Wednesday, February 8th at 2pm to see my Salmon Power Bowl. I'll be joining Gayle Guyardo in the Bloom kitchen at WFLA to show some cognitive and brain healthy foods.
Lemon Dill and Dijon Salmon Power Bowl
LEMON DILL DIJON DRESSING

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 pound broccoli florets
1/2 pound asparagus
1 cup chick peas, drained and rinsed
4 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1 cup quinoa, cooked
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh blueberries or strawberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
MAKE LEMON DILL DIJON DRESSING
Add all dressing ingredients to a food processor. Process until thoroughly combined. Set 1/4 cup of dressing to the side for the salmon and refrigerate the rest until ready to assemble the salad.
PREPARE SALMON
Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on the lined baking sheet. Add the broccoli, asparagus and chickpeas to the baking sheet and drizzle everything with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved dressing to each fillet and top with chopped walnuts. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until salmon is cooked to your liking. (About 12 minutes for medium rare, 15 minutes for medium and 18 minutes or longer for well done salmon. Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon and it should read 125 degrees at a minimum).
ASSEMBLE
Add mixed greens to a large salad bowl. Add the cabbage, quinoa, tomato, berries and onion over the mixed greens. Top the salad with the roasted salmon, broccoli, asparagus and chickpeas and drizzle the entire dish with the dressing and serve family style.
NOTE-
Add a splash of sherry wine vinegar to the entire dish right before serving for a bright note at the end.
