citrus-caraway salmon / rye berry, beet & wilted spinach salad / feta

Contents of your meal kit:

salmon
cracked rye berries
parsley
spinach
lemony pickled beets
citrus-caraway glaze
feta

Cookware needed: small or medium saucepan, baking sheet, mixing bowl

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler.
  2. Place cracked rye in a saucepan and add enough water to come 1/4 to 1/3-inch above the grains. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to the lowest setting. Simmer 10-15 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed. When done remove from heat, keep covered, and let sit at least 5 minutes. Continue with next steps while rye is cooking.
  3. Line a baking sheet with foil and place salmon on the baking sheet. Season with salt & pepper.
  4. Remove parsley leaves from stems and roughly chop. Set aside.
  5. Roughly chop or tear spinach and place in the bottom of a mixing bowl. When cracked rye has rested 5 minutes off heat, fluff with a fork and add to mixing bowl with spinach. Add lemony pickled beets and their liquid, toss to combine. Season to taste with salt & pepper, set aside to let flavors combine.
  6. After tossing together the salad, cook salmon under the broiler for about 3-5 minutes or until the top is opaque. Drizzle with citrus-caraway glaze and return to oven for 3-5 more minutes or until cooked to your liking. Keep a close eye on the salmon to prevent the glaze from burning.
  7. When salmon is done, divide rye berry salad between serving plates and top with broiled salmon. Sprinkle feta and parsley over the top. Enjoy!
