Hearty Salmon Nicoise Salad

I love tuna nicoise salad. When I have leftover french cut green beans in my fridge, my first thought is Nicoise! I had a piece of salmon that needed attention in my fridge, a must cook piece of wild caught Atlantic. So I made a rub (of which I will share shortly) and baked it at 400 degrees. While it baked for a good 20-25 minutes I made the salad. All this entailed was cutting and piling together. Salmon in place of the tuna, for the delicious hearty Nicoise.

Arugula
1/4 red onion (a larger dice, inch long perhaps, for that strong onion bite)
1/2 box of cooked whole wheat penne pasta
1/2 large tomato
fresh shaved Parmesan (1/4 cup?)
1 can of large black olives (pitted)
1/2 bag of fresh french cut green beans (cooked, steamed for 2-4 min)
Cooked salmon
Assemble all the ingredients in a large bowl. Top with olive oil and toss. Plate and eat:)
