• 2 ounces Arugula
• 4 ounces dried Cranberries

• 1 ounces Radishes thinly sliced, about 24 slices
• Lemon Zest from 1 or 2 Lemons

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the pit. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
• Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
• Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Place kale in a large mixing bowl. Add lemon dressing. Toss to combine.
• Add avocado, quinoa, brussels sprouts, arugula and cranberries. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Add vinaigrette, to taste. Toss gently to combine. Set aside
• Heat canola oil in a large non-stick, oven-safe sauté pan set over medium-high heat.
• Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Carefully place all 4 pieces of fish into hot pan. Cook for approximately 1 minute or until the fish is lightly seared. Flip fish over and cook for another minute.
• Remove fish from the sauté pan and transfer into a baking dish. Place dish into preheated oven and cook for another 5 minutes or until done.
• While fish is cooking, place equal amounts of the salad mix onto four serving plates.
• Remove the fish from the oven. Spread equal amounts of garlic aioli over each piece. Sprinkle equal amounts of the almond crust over each piece of fish.
• Place fish back into the oven for 30 seconds to warm the crust.
• Place the fish on top of each salad. Place sliced radishes evenly around the salad. Sprinkle lemon zest evenly over the salad and salmon.
