Summer Grilled Salmon and Kale Salad

I recently cut out meat from my diet, just to see how my body responded. I want to test how my energy levels are, how my workout intensity is, and simply how I feel. Well surprisingly, a few weeks in to not eating animal products I started craving fish out of all things. I really try to make sure I listen to my body, so I decided to hit up whole foods and stock up on some yummy organic fresh fish. 

Today I decided to make a kale salad with a nice filet of salmon! 

Ingredients:
Salmon (organic, fresh)
Kale 
Avocado 
Lemon juice
Seeds (sunflower, hemp, or chia)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Bake salmon for 20-30 mins (I seasoned with cumin,paprika,Italian, and basil).
2. In a bowl toss kale, lemon, and avocado with your hands. This allows the kale to soften and moisten.
3. Sprinkle on quinoa, and seeds.
4. Top salad with your baked salmon.
