Ingredients
  

  • 1 log LaClare Rolled Blueberry Vanilla goat cheese crumbled
  • 1 package arugula about 5-6 cups
  • 1 butternut squash peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • Few sprigs thyme leaves separated
  • 1 lb salmon
  • 1/2 cup walnuts toasted
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss the butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange on a parchment lined sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until  caramelized.
  • Heat the butter in a medium nonstick skillet. Pat the salmon dry and season with salt, pepper, and thyme leaves. Place the salmon skin side up in the skillet, cook on medium-high heat until the salmon has started to brown (5-6 minutes). Flip the salmon and place the pan in the oven. Bake for 10-15 additional minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest before flaking into bite size pieces.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season to taste.
  • Plate the arugula on a large platter (or bowl). Follow with the roasted squash, flaked salmon, toasted walnuts and crumbled goat cheese. Toss with the lemon dressing and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
