Grilled Salmon with Citrus-Fennel Salad and Grilled Escarole image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Four 6-ounce skin-on salmon filets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small heads escarole, halved lengthwise
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 small bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced on a mandolin, plus 1 tablespoon fronds
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced on a mandolin
1 navel orange, peeled, pith removed and cut into segments

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill.
  • Brush both sides of the salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon, skin-side down, for 3 to 4 minutes with the gill lid closed. Open the grill, flip the salmon and cook and additional 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness.
  • Meanwhile, brush the escarole with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. On a slightly cooler area of the grill (medium heat) place the escarole cut-side down, and grill until it begins to char and the leaves have wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with a squeeze of lemon juice; reserve.
  • In a bowl, toss the fennel, fennel fronds, onions and orange segments together until combined. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  • To serve, divide the grilled escarole among 4 plates. Lean a salmon filet on the escarole on each plate and top with the citrus-fennel salad.

CITRUS, FENNEL, AND PEPPER SALAD TOPPED WITH GOAT CHEESE



Citrus, Fennel, and Pepper Salad Topped with Goat Cheese image

Perhaps it was the presence of an orange in the toe of my Christmas stocking each year that makes me crave the freshness of citrus in the winter. It is easy to find jars of roasted peppers, and the two combine to make a cheerful colorful combination as welcome in the winter months as in the summer. Another name for shaved fennel is fennel slaw.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 red grapefruit, peeled and segmented
1 white grapefruit, peeled and segmented
1 orange, peeled and segmented
1 fennel bulb, shaved
1 roasted red bell pepper, torn into 1/2-inch strips
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Grated rind of 1 lime, no white attached
1 garlic clove, chopped
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup crumbled soft goat cheese
1 to 2 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs, optional

Steps:

  • Toss the grapefruit and orange segments, fennel, pepper strips, and onion together in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, lime rind, and garlic in a small bowl. Toss the dressing with the fruit mixture. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar. Sprinkle the salad with cheese, green onion, and herbs. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve cold.

Tips:

  • For a refreshing summer salad, use ripe, juicy citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit, and lemons.
  • If you don't have a fennel bulb, you can substitute celery or radishes.
  • To make the dressing, use a good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can also add a touch of honey or agave nectar for sweetness.
  • If you're serving the salad immediately, you can skip the marinating step. However, if you have time, marinating the citrus fruits in the dressing for at least 30 minutes will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs like mint, basil, or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This citrus and fennel salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this recipe a try!
