Currently my husband's (BigFish80) favorite meal. Awesome for post workout, loaded with complex carbs and lots of protein, not to mention good source of omega-3s and iron. Let me know what you think!

(20 min meal)

2 Salmon Fillets
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp real maple syrup

1 box of Quinoa spiral pasta (cooked, and rinsed cold)
1 grannysmith apple (chopped)
1 cucumber (chopped)
3 cups of chopped fresh spinach leaves
1 tsp dried dill

1/8 cup Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tbsp dijon mustard

Salmon:
Preheat oven to 375.
Mix mustard and syrup. Pour over salmon fillets on baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 min until cooked through.

Salad:
Mix cooked, cold pasta with next 4 ingredients and toss. Mix Vinegar and mustard; pour over salad.

Serve cooked salmon on top of salad.
Less than 500 calories. 35-40 grams of protein (depending on size of salmon) 9 grams of fat (great source of unsaturated fats, omega-3s).

Yes this dish is AWESOME! Currently my favorite dish for post workout. I'm not a big salad guy, but this dish ROCKS!!!
I find myself picking at the leftovers whole next day too.
