Salmon with tabbouleh salad

Ingredients

3 cups boiling water

1 cup bulgur

4 skinless thick salmon fillets

1 tsp salt

½ tsp coarsely ground pepper

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

2 tsp white-wine vinegar

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup mixed baby salad greens

4 plum tomatoes, quartered

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

8 pitted black olives, halved

 

Method

1. Pour the boiling water over the bulgur in a large bowl. Cover and set aside until the bulgur is softened, about 30mins. Drain well in a colander, shaking the colander several times to remove all the excess water.

2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the salmon with ½ tsp of salt and the pepper. Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until just opaque in the center, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to a plate and let cool to room temparture.

3. Combine the red onion, vinegar, oil and the remaining ½ tsp of salt in a large bowl. Add the bulgur, salad greens, tomatoes, basil, and olives; toss to coat well. Spoon the salad onto a large platter and top with salmon.
