For the Tricolor Salad:
+ 2 oz. buffalo mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced + 1 plum tomato, thinly sliced + 1/4 tsp. oregano + 1/4 tsp. pepper + 1/2 tsp. olive oil + 1/4 tsp. balsamic vinegar + 1 small avocado, diced + 1 whole-wheat wrap, warmed and cut into rectangles For the Salmon: + 1 6-oz. salmon fillet + 1/8 tsp. Greek seasoning + 1/4 tsp. pepper + 1 tsp. butter For the Cream Sauce: + 1/4 tsp. butter + 2 tsp. half-and-half + 4 oz. broccoli florets + 1/2 portobello mushroom + 5 sprigs fresh parsley What to do:
1. To make the Tricolor Salad: Arrange alternating layers of cheese and tomato, season with oregano, black pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, and top with avocado and warm tortilla rectangles.
2. To make the Salmon: Rub salmon with Greek seasoning and black pepper. In a large pan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Sear the salmon and cook until firm, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. 3. To make the Cream Sauce: In the same saucepan that you used for the salmon, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add half-and-half and 1/4 cup water. Cook for 1 minute, then add the broccoli and portobello mushroom and cook for 3 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Pour the sauce and veggies over the salmon, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
