Organic Salad Mix topped with Spicy Salmon


This is my favorite go to salad, super flavorful & filling.
 
Ingredients:
1 Salmon steak per person
1/2 to 1 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 onion (sliced)
2 Jalapenos (sliced)
Salad mix
1 Lemon
Salt & Pepper
 
Let's get started, cook about 1/2 (2 servings) to 1 cup (4 serving) of quinoa. Meanwhile season the individual portioned salmon steaks with salt & pepper, set aside. Slice 1/2 onion, 2 Jalapenos & in a medium sauté pan heat up a Tb of olive oil & cook for 4-5 minutes. Move onion and chilies to the outer edges of the pan, place salmon seasoned side down to brown. Remember to only flip once, cook about 5-6 minutes per side (or until desired readiness). Turn heat off. Now to assemble your salad... I used a combination of organic kale, spinach & Swiss chard salad mix, lay a bed of this on your plate, spoon on a good portion of quinoa (1/2 cup cooked) & top with a portion of salmon & the onion pepper mix. The dressing for this salad is very complicated.... Lemon wedges! Enjoy!

Mini flat bread Pizzas

Here's another great lunch idea for kids!! 

Ingredients:

Thin (whole wheat) Sandwich rounds
Pepperonis
Pizza sauce or (canned tomato sauce)
Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Parmesan
Dried oregano 

Preheat your convention oven to 400
Break open a sandwich round & use one half per pizza. Spread on some pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni's, oregano & Parmesan & bake until crispy. My girls devoured these! I'm not gonna lie, I only planned on having 2 pizzas ( 50 calories per half bread slice + toppings calories). But I may or may not have had more than 2. Anyhow, be creative with your toppings, I added onion, bell pepper & jalapeños to my pizzas!! Yumm! Can't wait to make this again!




Enjoy!!!
