Salmon “Salad”

  • Author: Lawfully Lean

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb farm-raised skin on salmon
  • bunch of fresh dill, washed
  • bunch of fresh parsley, washed
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice); zested and juiced (same bowl is fine)
  • 1–2 tablespoons capers
  • Drizzle of EVOO

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. In a food processor combine the dill, parsley, lemon juice and lemon zest, one glug of EVOO.  Pulse for about 20 seconds, until everything is combined.
  3. Place a piece of parchment paper in an ovenproof baking dish.  Place salmon, skin side down.  Spread 1/2 of your dill mixture and spread on top, reserve the rest.  Bake for 18 minutes or until salmon is cooked through.
  4. Allow salmon to cool.  Flake into a medium bowl (I use my hands). Discard the skin.  Lightly mix in the rest of the dill mix.  Stir until just combined.  Stir in your capers.
  5. Voila!  I use my red fixate container to measure out and store in Tupperwares for the week.  I try to eat within about 3 days.

Notes

I typically make this on a Sunday.  Eat it on Monday and Tuesday for lunch at work.  Feed to my kids for dinner any of those days. Make sure to eat early in the week!
