Warm Fresh Salmon Salad Recipes

SALMON WITH WARM TOMATO-OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil and lightly brush with olive oil. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon vinegar, the honey, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Put the salmon, skin-side down, on the prepared pan and brush the tops and sides with the honey glaze. Broil until golden brown and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt, then mash into a paste with the flat side of a large knife. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar, the olives and garlic paste in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the tomatoes, celery and mint. Season with salt and toss to combine. Serve with the salmon.

WARM FRESH SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the hard bottoms from the endives and remove the leaves. Arrange eight leaves on each of six plates with the bottoms at the center and the tops forming a fan pattern. Leave room between each leaf.
• Distribute the red-leaf lettuce over each of the plates between the endive leaves. Place a clump of arugula at the center of the fan pattern.
• Cut each salmon fillet into thirds lengthwise. Then cut each strip on the bias into two-inch-long pieces.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan. Put the salmon in the pan and sprinkle with pepper. Cook briefly. Add the scallions, shallots and ginger. Saute the salmon for one minute on each side. Add the vinegar and soy sauce and then the white wine. Blend well. Remove from the heat.
• Place the salmon strips over the salad. Evenly distribute the sauce over the salmon and greens. Garnish each plate with a tablespoon of chopped dill and a teaspoon of caviar, if desired.

WARM SALMON AND POTATO SALAD WITH CREAMY DILL DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Use a fork to flake the salmon and set it aside.
• At the same time, steam the potatoes in a steamer basket over 2 inches of boiling water until they become fork tender, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes and set aside. To the same steamer basket, add the green beans and steam until tender crisp, about 5 minutes. (Check to ensure there is enough water in the bottom pot at all times.)
• In the meantime, whisk the yogurt, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set it aside.
• In a large serving dish, arrange the cooked potatoes and green beans on a bed of arugula. Top with the flaked salmon and capers and then pour on the dressing.
• Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. (If you're planning on enjoying this the next day, do not add the arugula until just before eating.)
