Categories     Lactose Free

Time 22m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sweet balsamic vinaigrette (Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette)
2 medium salmon fillets
2/3 cup white wine
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
4 cups mixed baby greens
1 cup hazelnuts, chopped
1 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup red onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup feta cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • Prepare the vinaigrette according to recipe #229445 by Chef Fordido.
  • Pour wine into medium sized frying pan, add the Old Bay seasoning, then gently place the salmon into the pan. Turning burner to high, poach the salmon for about 4 minutes, turning the heat to medium, as the cooking action becomes vigorous. Gently turn salmon over to poach for another 4 minutes. Do not over cook, lest the salmon becomes dry in flavor, rather then moist.
  • Meanwhile put all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette, mix throughly and allow flavors to mingle before plating the salad.
  • Place the salad on a plate, top with the poached salmon fillet. The salmon may be served warm, room temperature or cold. Enjoy!
