Opa!

Here's a quick recipe that I don't want to forget. If you like salmon and Greek food you will love this healthy and delicious recipe! I found it on the back of the "Full Circle" frozen salmon packaging. Enjoy!

Mediterranean Salmon Salad

Ingredients:
12 oz. Salmon
2 Tbls. lime juice
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp. dried basil
2 Tbls. white wine vinegar
1 to 1-1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 cup feta cheese
2 Tbls. olive oil
1 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1/8 tsp. oregano
Assorted fresh vegetables and greens

Directions:
Rinse salmon with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Place salmon in large skillet in just enough water to cover. Season water with lemon and onion slices, bay leaf, and black peppercorns to taste. Cover and simmer. Do not overcook. Salmon should be pink in the center when removed from heat. (The recipe doesn't give an exact time on this- and to be honest I didn't really watch the clock, I just periodically checked the fish.) Drain, cool, and break into large chunks. While salmon is cooling, make dressing by combining olive oil, lime juice, wine vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, oregano, and basil. Gently toss salmon with dressing. Serve on a bed of fresh chopped lettuce. Garnish with tomato wedges, onions, olives, artichoke hearts, and cucumber slices. Sprinkle with feta.

Yummy!
