Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 day-old plain bagels, halved horizontally and cut into pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces smoked salmon or lox, sliced paper thin and torn into pieces
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened but cool, torn into rough chunks
4 ounces baby spinach
1 small bulb fennel, sliced paper thin
1/2 English cucumber, sliced paper thin
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the bagel pieces in a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and toss to coat. Add the poppy seeds, sesame seeds and some salt; toss again. Spread the bagel pieces out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • For the vinaigrette: Put the lemon zest and juice, dill, capers, mustard, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make a thick creamy dressing. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the salad: Put the croutons, smoked salmon and cream cheese in a large bowl, and then mound the spinach, fennel, cucumber and red onion on top. Spoon some of the vinaigrette around the side of the bowl and toss gently to coat the salad with dressing. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette nicely on individual serving plates and gently mound some salad on top. Serve immediately.

FENNEL-SMOKED SALMON



Fennel-Smoked Salmon image

Definitely give this a try if you have problems with salmon sticking to your grill grates. Since the fish never touches the grill here, it's easy on, easy off. Just this feature alone makes the technique worthwhile.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Seafood Main Dish Recipes     Salmon     Salmon Fillet Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups wood chips
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and very thinly sliced
2 (7 ounce) salmon fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons fennel fronds and threads
1 pinch white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place wood chips in a bowl; cover with several inches of cold water and let soak for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Sprinkle wood chips over coals and close grill lid, leaving top vents open. When smoke rises from the vents, shut them, open the grill, and place fennel slices directly on the grates to create a bed.
  • Generously season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Place salmon on top of fennel slices. Close the grill lid, leaving the vents shut. Cook until salmon is tender and starting to flake, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Scrape fennel from the grill and place atop salmon while it rests or discard it (see Editor's Note).
  • Combine tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, fennel fronds, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Spoon tomato mixture over salmon and serve.

Hot-Smoked Salmon with Salted Yogurt and Fennel image

Hot-smoked salmon is sold wherever you purchase gravlax and other cured fish; in the supermarket it's probably stocked alongside packages of smoked trout.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Seafood     Fish     Salmon     Yogurt     Capers     Fennel     No-Cook     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, divided
Kosher salt
3 Tbsp. whole grain mustard
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped capers
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 large fennel bulb
2 lb. hot-smoked salmon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix yogurt and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl; season with salt.
  • Mix mustard, capers, and 2 Tbsp. oil in another small bowl. Set dressing aside.
  • Cut fennel stems away from bulb, then cut fronds away from stems; you'll use each part, but they're prepped separately. Thinly slice stems crosswise and place in a medium bowl. Coarsely tear fennel fronds until you have about 1 cup and add to bowl. Remove tough outer layers from fennel bulb; discard. Slice bulb in half, then thinly slice crosswise; add to bowl. Add 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, season with salt, and toss to coat.
  • Divide seasoned yogurt among plates and use a spoon to spread it out. Using your hands, break salmon into big flakes and arrange over yogurt. Spoon mustard dressing over salmon and scatter fennel salad on top. Drizzle with more oil and season with lots of pepper.
