Ingredients 

1 lb salmon fillet

1/8 tsp Kosher salt, plus more for dressing

Freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup shelled unsalted pistachios

3 Tbsp low-fat plain yogurt

2 Tbsp grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed preferred)

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp grainy Dijon mustard

1 tsp lemon zest, plus more for garnish

2 tsp lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

5 oz mixed greens

1 cup thinly sliced fennel

1 cup thinly julienned green apples

1/2 cup thinly sliced cooked beets

1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

How to make it 

Preheat broiler to 450°. Place salmon fillet on a foil-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Broil 15 minutes, until cooked through.

While salmon is cooking, toast pistachios in a dry skillet or toaster oven, about 4 minutes.

To make the dressing, combine yogurt, grapefruit juice, garlic, mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small food processor or blender. Blend until combined. Add ¼ cup oil, and blend again until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

To assemble the salad, divide greens, fennel, apples, beets, and goat cheese among 4 plates. Top with ¼ of the broiled salmon and 2-3 tablespoons dressing. Garnish with additional lemon zest if desired.
