Seared Salmon With Citrus and Arugula Salad image

Bursting with color and bright, bold flavors, this simple recipe makes an elegant main course for a dinner party, or a welcome diversion from your go-to weeknight salmon. The technique of cooking salmon in a cast-iron skillet creates a beautifully golden-brown sear and crispy skin. For best results, make this recipe during the cold weather months, when citrus fruit is at its best.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot (from 1 large shallot)
1 small grapefruit
2 to 3 navel oranges, blood oranges or Cara Cara oranges, or a combination (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 to 3 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups)
1/2 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, cored and very thinly sliced crosswise
1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup shelled, roasted salted or unsalted pistachios, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
  • Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
  • Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

Provided by Starbucks

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup finely chopped shallots or 2 shallots
1 cup sherry wine
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
9 cups baby arugula
4 ounces ricotta salata

Steps:

  • Make the Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette: Put the shallots, vinegar, bay leaf, and thyme into a small pot set over medium heat. Cook the vinegar until it is reduced to a syrup, about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and thyme stem.
  • Pour the reduction into a mixing bowl. Set the mixing bowl on a kitchen towel shaped into a circle to prevent the bowl from wobbling. Whisk in the honey, mustard, and salt. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly to emulsify the vinaigrette. If the vinaigrette appears to thicken too much, add a teaspoon of cold water.
  • Put the arugula in a bowl and dress with the Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the ricotta salata into the arugula. Toss to combine.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients: High-quality ingredients will make all the difference in the final dish, so make sure to use the freshest salmon, arugula, and vegetables you can find.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, or about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The Dijon vinaigrette dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and radishes.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is assembled. The arugula will wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This salmon and arugula salad with Dijon vinaigrette is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad recipe, give this one a try!
