Servings: 4
Calories: 447kcal

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces wild caught pink salmon
  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce

Dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • First, mix all of the dressing ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside half for the salad, and use the other half to marinate the salmon a little bit.
  • You can cook the salmon however you want, but since it's summer, I decided to grill it. Fire up the grill, put the salmon on a piece of aluminum foil and use a pastry brush to brush half the dressing/marinade on the salmon. Wrap the foil up into a packet and cook the salmon on the grill for 10-15 minutes, or until a thermometer registers an internal temperature of 145 °F
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions and be sure to omit the salt.
  • Cut up the cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion.
  • Once the pasta and salmon have finished cooking, toss the fish, vegetables and noodles together with the reserved half of the dressing.
