GRILLED SALMON OVER LENTIL SALAD WITH WALNUT VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Salmon over Lentil Salad With Walnut Vinaigrette image

Healthy and delicious. Canola oil is relatively flavorless. Using it in the marinade and vinaigrette allows the zingy taste of the Dijon mustard and fresh herbs to come through. Canola oil also provides heart-smart omega-3 fat along with the salmon and walnuts. The marinade doesn't have a lot of acid, so it's perfect for marinating the salmon for up to 10 hours before grilling (or broiling). From joyofkosher.com.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 27

4 salmon fillets, skin removed (4 oz each)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves only and roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons red onions, minced
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup rice or 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup dried brown lentils or 1 cup green lentil, rinsed
2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 bay leaf
1 rosemary sprig
salt and pepper
1 medium carrot, finely diced
1 celery, finely diced
1/4 cup red onion, very finely diced
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
vinaigrette (see recipe above)
lentils (see recipe above)
lemon wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Place salmon in marinade and gently toss until thoroughly coated. Place fish in resealable bag in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • To make the vinaigrette: In plastic bowl or cup with fitted lid, combine all vinaigrette ingredients. Shake until thoroughly mixed and emulsified. Season with pepper; set aside.
  • To prepare the lentils: In 5-quart pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add lentils, garlic cloves, bay leaf, rosemary sprig, salt and pepper. Cook lentils until just tender, about 30 minutes. Strain in colander.
  • To complete the lentil salad: In large bowl, toss lentils, carrots, celery and red onions together. Stir in enough vinaigrette, about 1/4 cup, to coat lentil mixture and store rest in refrigerator for up to one week. Toss in fresh parsley and tarragon.
  • To grill the salmon: Heat grill to 375 degrees, when it's too hot to hold hand above coals for more than 5 seconds.
  • Spray grill rack lightly and cautiously with canola oil cooking spray, then carefully place salmon fillets on hot grill 2 inches apart. Cook on each side 3-4 minutes at diagonal angle to grill rack for professional-looking grill marks. Note: Salmon may, also, be broiled.
  • To assemble: Remove salmon from grill and serve over lentil salad. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, locally sourced salmon, crunchy celery, red onion, and crisp walnuts for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the salad: Over-mixing can break up the salmon and make the salad mushy. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Make the salad ahead of time: The salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before serving.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of greens: A bed of fresh greens adds a layer of freshness and crunch to the salad.

Conclusion:

Salmon salad with glazed walnuts is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With its combination of flavors and textures, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this salad a try.
