Ingredients

• 500 grams Cheese tortellini
• 250 grams Salmon fillet
• 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 unit Garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Baby spinach
• 150 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 unit Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the instructions on the package. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the tortellini cooks, season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Let it cool slightly, then flake it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, flaked salmon, fresh dill, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 7

Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a colder salad. Enjoy!
