SPINACH SALAD WITH GRILLED SALMON AND STRAWBERRIES



Spinach Salad with Grilled Salmon and Strawberries image

This beautiful salad is delicious and nutritious, too! Grilled salmon is combined with fresh spinach, red bell pepper, fresh mushrooms, and fresh strawberries. Garnished with chopped pecans and a bit of crumbled bacon--leave out the bacon, if you must. I justify it because there is no added sugar in the vinaigrette.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons high-quality balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound salmon filets, with skin
salt and pepper to taste
1 (5 ounce) package fresh baby spinach
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
8 medium fresh mushrooms, sliced
16 large fresh strawberries, sliced
4 tablespoons chopped pecans
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for the vinaigrette. Stir briskly to combine.
  • Brush salmon with 1 teaspoon of the vinaigrette on the cut side, and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette.
  • Clean the grates of an outdoor grill and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place the salmon on a grilling mat or fish grill basket on the hot grill, skin side down. Grill for about 10 minutes. Using a turner, carefully flip the salmon, or turn the grill basket, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more. Salmon should flake easily with a fork when done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Transfer salmon to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest while preparing the salad.
  • Combine spinach, red bell pepper, mushrooms, strawberries, and reserved vinaigrette in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Remove skin from salmon and flake.
  • Divide salad among individual plates, top with flaked salmon, and garnish with chopped pecans and crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Salmon Fillets: Choose wild-caught salmon fillets that are fresh and have a vibrant color. Look for fillets that are about 1-inch thick and have the skin intact.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Marinating the salmon in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its taste and keeps it moist during grilling.
  • Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the salmon fillets. This helps create a nice sear on the outside of the salmon while keeping the inside tender and flaky.
  • Grill the Salmon Skin-Side Down: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. This protects the delicate flesh of the salmon and prevents it from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Cook the Salmon to the Right Temperature: Cook the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This ensures that the salmon is cooked through but still remains moist and tender.
  • Let the Salmon Rest: Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon on spinach is a healthy and flavorful meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and perfectly cooked salmon dish that will impress your family and friends. The combination of tender salmon, wilted spinach, and tangy lemon dressing makes this dish a delightful and satisfying experience.
