Ingredients
- 1. A single cup of white quinoa
- 1. Seventy-five percent cups of water
- Dressing:
- Half a cup of tangy Greek yogurt
- A quarter cup of creamy tahini
- A tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- A hint of grated garlic
- Three tablespoons of water, or more if necessary
- A pinch of kosher salt
- Salad:
- One and a half packages of lacinato kale (each weighing 8 ounces)
- A pair of fresh carrots
- Two cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed (each weighing 15 ounces)
- A half cup of sweet dried cherries
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Four skin-on salmon fillets, each weighing 4 ounces
Step 1
Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan and heat over medium-high, allowing it to boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer until tender, approximately 12 minutes. Once done, remove from heat, keep covered, and rest for 3 to 5 minutes before setting it aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic to create the salad base. Adjust the consistency by adding water gradually. Season with salt and keep it aside for later use.
Step 3
Prepare the kale by removing the stems and tearing the leaves into the dressing-filled bowl. Create long carrot ribbons and incorporate them into the mix. Gently massage the dressing into the salad until every piece is coated, which should take about a minute. Integrate chickpeas and cherries, tossing everything together.
Step 4
In a nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the salmon skin-side-down until it crisps up, around 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until it reaches your desired level of doneness, typically an additional 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate.
Step 5
Divide the prepared quinoa among four bowls. Top with the kale salad and the cooked salmon. Finish off with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper, and serve promptly for a delightful meal.
