Citrus And Pomegranate Beef Salad Recipes

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS-MINT CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then cut the asparagus spears on the bias into thirds.
• Zest the orange, remove and discard the peel and cut the flesh into segments; squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes into a large bowl.
• Add the vinegar, mustard and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the bowl with the orange juice; whisk together. Add the orange zest and segments, asparagus, lima beans, hazelnuts, mint, parsley and scallions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Position an oven rack in the second position from the top and preheat the oven to broil.
• Heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season all sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 1 minute.
• Set aside some of the Pomegranate Glaze in a separate bowl for serving, then brush the salmon liberally with the remaining glaze, being careful not to let too much drip down as the glaze will burn and hinder the crisping of the skin. Transfer to the oven and broil until the glaze is caramelized and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Serve over the asparagus salad with a couple smears of the reserved glaze on the side.
• Whisk together the pomegranate juice, honey, sugar, mustard, cornstarch and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Let cool.

CITRUS SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE SEEDS

Steps:

• Cut away peel and pith of citrus fruits. Then, working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut segments free of membrane.
• Line a large serving platter with pomelo slices and place citrus segments in rows on top. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and garnish with gooseberries.

CITRUS AND POMEGRANATE BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• Season steak with 3/4 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Heat a lightly oiled heavy skillet on medium-high heat. Cook steak 5-6 minutes per side for medium (or preferred doneness). Rest for 10 minutes then slice thinly.
• Meanwhile, peel and sement grapefruit and orange over a bowl to capture any juice. Whisk 2 tablespoons of the collected juice with the vinegar, garlic, ginger paste, mustard, honey, and remaining salt and pepper until combined. Drizzle in oil while continuing to whisk.
• Toss spinach fruit and warm steak together with the dressing and garnish with pomegranate seeds. Serve with rusty bread, if desired.

CITRUS SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Cut the pomegranate into quarters, then press back the outer skin to push the seeds out into a bowl.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a slice off the top and bottom of the grapefruit, then remove the peel and pith, cutting downward. Cut out the segments from between the membranes, then add to the pomegranate.
• Finely grate the rind of half an orange and set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut a slice off the top and bottom of both oranges, then remove the peel and pith, cutting downward and being careful to retain the shape of the oranges. Slice horizontally into slices, then cut into quarters. Add the oranges to the pomegranate and grapefruit and stir to mix well.
• Combine the orange rind with the lime rind, garlic, vinegar, lime juice, sugar and mustard in a nonmetallic bowl. Season to taste, then whisk in the oil.
• Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the 2 halves in opposite directions to separate. Stab the pit with the point of a sharp knife and lift out. Carefully peel off the skin, dice the flesh, and toss in lime juice to prevent discoloration.
• Place the lettuce in a serving bowl. Top with the fruit and avocado then pour over the dressing and toss. Garnish with the onion and serve immediately.
