Grilled Salmon With Bulgur And Salad Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Bulgur

1. Rinse 1 cup of bulgur under cold water. 2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. 3. Add the rinsed bulgur, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. 4. Fluff the bulgur with a fork and set aside.

Step 2: Marinate the Salmon

1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. 2. Place 4 salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. 3. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. 4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3: Grill the Salmon

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. 2. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on the grill. 3. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has nice grill marks. 4. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 4: Prepare the Salad

1. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes (halved), cucumber slices, thinly sliced red onion, and any other desired vegetables. 2. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. 3. Toss the salad gently to combine.

Step 5: Serve

1. Place a serving of bulgur on each plate. 2. Top with a grilled salmon fillet. 3. Add a portion of the fresh salad on the side. 4. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired and serve immediately.
