High Protein

A 520-calorie Brunch recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 2 (4oz) salmon fillets, skin on
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 green onion pancakes (store-bought or homemade, 4-inch diameter)
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish
• Optional: chili flakes for a touch of heat

Instructions

1. Prep: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, place the salmon fillets skin-side down.
3. Sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
4. While the salmon cooks, heat the green onion pancakes. You can pan-fry them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes.
5. Warm the hoisin sauce in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a small saucepan over low heat.
6. To assemble, place a green onion pancake on each plate. Top with a crispy salmon fillet. Drizzle generously with warm hoisin sauce.
7. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
