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.
