SALMON AND SPINACH SALAD



Salmon and Spinach Salad image

Tarragon and fresh fennel both have the same faint licorice flavor, but they don't overwhelm this simple spring salad. Salmon is the perfect protein for this dish: It cooks quickly, separates into large, pretty flakes, and stands up to the mint, tarragon, and garlic. This dish would also be a great use for leftover salmon. Refrigerate the cooked fillets whole, and then separate into flakes just before serving. If you don't care for fennel, swap in another crunchy element like sliced cucumber or celery. Serve with toasted whole-grain baguette slices spread with softened goat cheese or salted butter.

SPINACH SALAD WITH GRILLED SALMON AND STRAWBERRIES



Spinach Salad with Grilled Salmon and Strawberries image

This beautiful salad is delicious and nutritious, too! Grilled salmon is combined with fresh spinach, red bell pepper, fresh mushrooms, and fresh strawberries. Garnished with chopped pecans and a bit of crumbled bacon--leave out the bacon, if you must. I justify it because there is no added sugar in the vinaigrette.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes     Spinach Salad Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons high-quality balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound salmon filets, with skin
salt and pepper to taste
1 (5 ounce) package fresh baby spinach
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
8 medium fresh mushrooms, sliced
16 large fresh strawberries, sliced
4 tablespoons chopped pecans
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for the vinaigrette. Stir briskly to combine.
  • Brush salmon with 1 teaspoon of the vinaigrette on the cut side, and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette.
  • Clean the grates of an outdoor grill and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place the salmon on a grilling mat or fish grill basket on the hot grill, skin side down. Grill for about 10 minutes. Using a turner, carefully flip the salmon, or turn the grill basket, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more. Salmon should flake easily with a fork when done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Light healthy and easy to make. Roasted fennel and spinach salad with a very light lemon mustard vinaigrette topped with roasted salmon. This is healthy and quick but a beautiful dish to serve for guests or just a nice dinner for you and your husband or significant other or just family. As you cook the salmon and fennel all in the oven, roast some simple new potatoes at the same time on the same pan and save clean up time. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and you have an easy dinner side dish to go with the salad and salmon.

Categories     Spinach

Time 35m

Yield 4 Fillets and Salad, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 salmon fillets (I like to get middle sections, so I don't get any thin tail sections. This makes for more even cooki)
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon thin sliced and roasted on the salmon
4 cups Baby Spinach
2 fennel bulbs (cut in half and sliced, not too thin)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
pepper
1 lemon, cut in half (roasted and squeezed over the salad)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 teaspoons fresh dill
pepper
salt
fresh dill, if you want

Steps:

  • Vinaigrette -- Mix the white wine, olive oil, mustard, fresh dill, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Salmon -- Remove and let set to take the chill off. Then drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Nothing more. Top with 2 lemon slices per fillet and place on a sheet of foil or parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Fennel -- On the same baking sheet, 1/2 we will be baking the salmon and the other half we will be baking the fennel. So add the fennel, lemon and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and lightly toss.
  • Bake -- In a 425 degree oven on the middle shelf, bake the salmon and the fennel for about 15-20 minutes. This will depend on the thickness of your fennel and salmon, but they take approximately the same time.
  • The fennel should be lightly brown around the edges and the salmon done and flaky, but still a little moist. The salmon will cook a little more once removed, so don't over cook - 120 internal temp and then remove. You don't want it bright pink and translucent in the middle, but more opaque. The salmon may get done first, so just remove and set on a plate and cover with foil.
  • Salad -- At this time, the fennel should be done. So, to a large bowl, add the baby spinach and the roasted fennel and squeeze 1/2 of the roasted lemon and add 1/2 of the vinaigrette (or you can go a bit less). You want a little to drizzle over the salmon as well, so dress the salad to your liking. I tend to go light on the dressing where others like a bit more. Just use what you like.
  • Note: if you like more lemon like me you can squeeze the other half of the lemon. Once roasted it gets very sweet and adds a great flavor, but I always tell people to squeeze 1/2 first. You can always add more, but you can take it away. I prefer to squeeze both half, but that is up to you.
  • Plating -- Add a nice helping of the fennel spinach salad to the plate and top with one of the roasted salmon fillets. Top with a little of the vinaigrette over the salmon and garnish with the fresh dill (optional).
  • Now my favorite is to serve this with some roasted potatoes. As you cook the salmon and fennel, you could also do some roasted new potatoes. Guess what ? No pans. Just a baking sheet with no clean up. My type of dinner. And that roasted lemon half if you don't use it on the salmon, you would squeeze that on the potatoes with salt and pepper which would be wonderful. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach leaves. If using pre-washed spinach, be sure to dry it thoroughly before using.
  • To add a bit of extra flavor and crunch, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds to the salad. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
  • If you don't have any lemon juice on hand, you can use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead.
  • If you're short on time, you can use canned or pouch salmon instead of fresh salmon. Just be sure to drain and flake the salmon before adding it to the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately after preparing it, as the spinach will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This spinach salad with salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients, including protein, fiber, and vitamins A and C. The salad is also low in calories and fat, making it a great choice for those who are watching their weight. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is sure to become a favorite in your household.
