Cajun Salmon Salad

Ingredients

Makes: 4 servings

• 1 pound salmon fillet (fresh or thawed frozen)

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons plus 1⁄4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

• 1⁄2 cup fat-free Thousand Island salad dressing

• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

• 4 cups mixed greens

• 1 cup cooked brown rice

• 1 cup no-salt-added canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained

• 1⁄2 cup chopped roasted red peppers

Directions

Set up grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Oil grates when ready to start grilling.

Remove any bones from fish and brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning. Grill fish for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until fish pulls apart easily into flakes but is not dry.

In a small bowl, combine dressing, hot pepper sauce, and the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning.

Divide greens among 4 chilled plates. Top each plate with 1⁄4 cup rice, 1⁄4 cup beans, 2 tablespoons roasted peppers, and one-fourth of the fish. Serve dressing on the side for drizzling.
