Directions

Season salmon with a little salt and pepper.

Set aside while you chop and sauté vegetables.

Mince onions and press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health benefits.

Heat 1 tablespoon broth in a 10 to 12 inch stainless steel skillet. When broth begins to steam add onion, bell pepper and garlic and Healthy Sauté on medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring frequently. Add ½ cup broth, drained beans, and red chili powder.

Cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

While beans are cooking preheat broiler on high.

Place a stainless steel or cast iron skillet large enough for salmon under the heat to get hot.

This takes about 10 minutes.

In a bowl mix together cilantro, mint, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper.

Place salmon in the hot pan and return to broiler about 5 inches from the heat source for best results.

Broil salmon for about 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness.

This is our Quick Broil cooking method.

Serve salmon, beans, lettuce and avocado together on a plate.

Top salmon and lettuce with cilantro topping.
