A New York Apple Country® Recipe

NEW YORK ROASTED APPLE & SALMON SALAD
by Linda Quinn, MS, RD

A salad that is perfect for a cold day but won’t weigh you down like other comfort foods.

INGREDIENTS

1 Empire Apple, cored and peeled cut in 6 pieces
1 (5-oz) piece salmon fillet with skin
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for drizzling
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, lightly toasted in toaster oven
2 cups salad greens

DRESSING

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil Good Seasons mix (use half envelope)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Rub salmon all over with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, skin side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet in upper third of oven until fish is just cooked through, about 12 minutes. At the same time roast apples with 1 teaspoon olive oil drizzle. (12 minutes)

Cut salmon in half crosswise, then lift flesh from skin with a metal spatula and transfer to a plate. Discard skin, then drizzle salmon with oil and sprinkle with herbs. Arrange lettuce with pumpkin seeds, sliced apples and chunked salmon.

Drizzle with dressing.

Makes 2 servings.
