Rebel Fish Salmon with Massaged Kale, Blueberry, Peach and Walnut Salad

Exciting news! I have recently become a brand ambassador for Rebel Fish Salmon USA! I could not be more excited and proud, my little blog has been noticed by a big company!

Rebel Fish Salmon allows you to cook salmon from fresh to finished in just 90 seconds! Life just got simpler, and quick simple meals just got better with the addition of fresh fish! With 6 rebelliously delicious flavours to choose from you can mix it up almost every night of the week. For this recipe I used the Lemon Pepper Herb Flavour, a combination of bright lemon, cracked black pepper, herbs, and garlic, this traditional blend of seasoning complements the rich taste of the salmon. Following the simple cooking instructions on the packet, after 90 seconds in the microwave on a microwaveable plate, the salmon was cooked to absolute perfection.

Drawing upon the Lemon flavours in the herb seasoning, I paired the salmon with a massaged kale, blueberry, walnut and grilled peach salad, with a lemon-blueberry dressing to create the perfect warm fresh salad for a warm summers eve. With superfoods such as Kale and the mighty walnut often its the simplest meals which are packed with nutrients and best for your health.

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

- 4x Rebel Fish Salmon portions (Lemon Pepper Herb Flavour)

- 350grams of Kale (stalks removed and shredded)

- 200gram bag of Mixed Salad Leaves

- 150grams of Blueberries

- 4x ripe Peaches (halved and pitted)

- 80grams of Walnuts (chopped)

- 400gram tin of Black Beans (drained and washed)

(For the dressing)

- 50grams of Blueberries

- Juice of 2 Lemons

- 2tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- 1tablespoon of Balsamic Vinegar

- 1teaspoon of Agave Nectar (or honey/maple syrup)

- 1 Garlic Clove (crushed)

- Good seasoning of Salt and Pepper

Method

1) Firstly prepare your salad dressing. Add all of the ingredients for the dressing into a blender or food processor until it is combined and emulsified, taste to check levels of seasoning and add accordingly.

2) Next grab yourself a big bowl, put into it the kale and the dressing and start massaging! By massaging raw kale it takes out the bitterness and makes it much softer than usual! Whilst massaging, it will start to wilt, become soft and a more vibrant green, when this has happened (around 5 minutes) its ready!

3) Toss in the mixed leaves, remaining blueberries, walnuts and black beans, cover and place in the fridge.

4) For the peaches, set the grill to high and place them chopped side down on a baking tray brushing the tops with olive oil and seasoning with pepper. Place them under the grill for around 5 minutes until the tops have just begun to blacken. Flip over and repeat for the other sides - again brushing with oil and grilling on a high heat for around 5 minutes.

5) While the peaches are grilling, cook your Rebel Fish Salmon according to the packet instructions (remembering if you place more than one portion in the microwave at once the cooking time will change)

Pile your salad high on your plate, serve with 2 halves of the grilled peach and a portion of Salmon thats it! This dish is really ready after only 5 simple steps!
