Steamed Salmon Salad With Grapefruit-Ginger Dressing

It's tough to find a better source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than salmon. Add greens, grapefruit, and avocado, and you're well on your way to your 5 a Day.

Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

Salad

1 pound salmon fillet, cut in half (to fit in a steamer basket)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice from 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
8 cups mixed baby greens
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 pink grapefruit, pith and peel removed, segments separated
1/2 cup bean sprouts, thoroughly washed

Grapefruit-Ginger Dressing

5 tablespoons grapefruit juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger

PREPARATION

Season fish with salt, pepper, cumin, and lime juice and steam in a bamboo steamer or a pot with a steamer insert until tender, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside 10 minutes to cool. Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl. With a fork, coarsely flake the fish; toss with greens and just enough dressing to lightly coat leaves. Divide among 4 plates. Arrange avocado slices and grapefruit sections on top of each salad and drizzle lightly with dressing. Top with bean sprouts.
