GRILLED SALMON WITH CITRUS-FENNEL SALAD AND GRILLED ESCAROLE
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.

SALMON ON FENNEL SALAD

To serve it as a hearty starter for a meal, cut fish fillets in half lengthwise before grilling. If serving salmon cold, grill right away. If serving hot, make salad first.

- Use fresh herbs and vegetables. Fresh herbs and vegetables will add flavor and color to your dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to cook salmon. Try different recipes and find the one that you like best.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon with a fresh and bright salad of thinly sliced young red beets and lemony dill dressing is an easy-to-make yet very elegant summer lunch or light supper dish. Fennel salad or coleslaw are also excellent choices.
