Spinach Salad with Sesame Salmon

If you're tired of adding chicken to your salads, try making it with salmon. It's a good source of protein and adds just the right amount of flavor to this light and refreshing salad. 
For this plate I added a little salad seasoning which made the dish more flavorful. If you prefer, you can season with salt and pepper, or go without.
This will make a great meal or side dish, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
