OLIVES AND TOMATO SALAD
This is something I have been making for a while. I finally figured out how to cut down on the brine taste so that I could taste the other ingredients as well. The addition of sugar was the answer.I tried omitting the brine, but then the salad wasn't as moist as I was hoping it would be and the tomato pieces turned mushy after a couple of days. If you are going to be eating the salad in one day, you can probably omit the brines altogether. The ingredients blend really well together and are quite tasty. Make this at least one hour before serving it to allow everything to meld together. To save money, slice the olives yourself. The amounts of the olives, green onions/scallions and tomato are approximate and depends on what size of each ingredient you use. This salad is versatile and will go with many things. The sodium content is probably high in this recipe so you will want to serve it with something that has less salt. Cook time is the refrigeration time. ..

Gradually whisk in the butter over low heat until you have a smooth and glossy sauce. Check for seasoning. Salmon and Salad: Rub both sides of the fillets with 1 tbsp of olive oil and set aside. Sauté briefly the cucumber, tomatoes, olives and parsley together in 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Season well and set aside. Quarter the gem lettuces lengthways and cut out the core. Heat the remaining oil in a heavy-based non-stick frying pan then sauté the lettuces with some seasoning for about 2 minutes. Once the leaves start to wilt, toss them in 2 tbsp vinaigrette. Transfer them to a warm plate and set aside. Heat a heavy based non-stick frying pan and when hot, add the salmon, skinned side down. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes.
