Try this salmon salad recipe post exercise and see if you feel stronger fitter and healthier after just one meal.
Salmon salad has always been a go to of mine when I need a healthy fix. During my Uni years and my time in Paris, the George Foreman grill became my best friend. This recipe will taste a million times better off the Foreman as it avoids using any type of added oil to cook. However, try a griddle pan if you don't have a George Foreman for similar results.
1. Turn on your George Foreman so that it can get nice and hot
2. Once hot, add your salmon with a little seasoning. Sometimes I enjoy it plain because salmon has such a great natural flavour. Other times I add just a little salt and pepper. But when I want a kick, I add chilli, soya sauce and honey.
3. Prepare your salad- In this case I used fresh spinach (full of vitamins and vital minerals) so make sure this is washed and ready to go.
4. Chop your accompaniments. I sliced a fresh avocado (promotes blood sugar regulation) and I tossed halved cherry tomatoes in a little olive oil, fresh garlic, salt and pepper for an easy yet refreshing salad.
5. Now all you need to do is wait for your salmon to cook through (this will be different times depending on the size of your George Foreman.
