quick lunch: bagel with cream cheese, salmon and capers

Here's more of a lunch idea than a recipe. Toasted bagel + cream cheese + smoked salmon + capers. I also added some dill on this the second time around. Serve with some veggies on the side.

salmon-asparagus quinoa salad with dill

This was part of my post-run high-protein "refuel" on Sunday after my 18-miler. Less than 6 weeks till Grandma's Marathon now! I had some smoked Alaskan salmon in the freezer from my dad (thanks, dad!) that I had taken out to thaw. I also had some cooked quinoa leftover from the salad with black beans, mango and radishes. All I had to do was roast some asparagus in the oven (with a little olive oil, salt and pepper), and add everything together with some chopped dill. Simple, but I loved the flavors together, and it felt very healthy and very satisfying.
