1 1/2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces skin and bones removed |
salt and pepper |
1 small onion, minced |
1 small red bell pepper, diced 1/4 inch |
4 medium garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon chicken or 1 tablespoon vegetable broth |
1/2 cup chicken or 1/2 cup vegetable broth |
15 ounces black beans, drained |
1 1/2 tablespoons red chili powder |
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce |
1 medium avocado, cubed |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon chopped pumpkin seeds |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon broth in a 10-12 inch stainless steel skillet. When broth begins to steam add onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute on medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring frequently.
3. Add 1/2 cup broth, drained beans and red chili powder. Cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. While beans are cooking, preheat broiler. Place a stainless steel or cast iron skillet large enough for salmon under the heat to get hot. This takes about 10 minutes.
5. In a bowl mix together sauce ingredients: cilantro, mint, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper; set aside.
6. Place salmon in the hot pan and return to broiler about 5 inches from the heat source for best results. Broil salmon for about 7 minutes for medium doneness.
7. Serve salmon, beans, lettuce and avocado together on a plate. Top salmon and lettuce with sauce topping.
