Roasted Salmon with Kale-Quinoa Salad

The American Heart Association recommends eating salmon or other fatty fish twice a week to reap the cardiovascular benefits that the omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish provide. In addition, salmon is a great source of high-quality protein, vitamin B12, and the essential minerals phosphorus and selenium. Look for wild salmon, which has 5 to 10 times fewer contaminants and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) than farm-raised. Instead of tomatoes, we turn to grapes to add a naturally tart-sweet pop of flavor to brighten the salad.

1 (6-oz.) wild salmon fillet Cooking spray 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced lacinato kale 1/2 cup cooked quinoa 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Citrus Dressing 5 seedless red grapes, halved
