Warm Salmon and Potato Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing image

Provided by Sara Lynn Cauchon

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 12-ounce salmon fillet
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups baby potatoes, quartered
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and halved
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 small lemon, zested and juiced
1 garlic clove, grated
4 cups arugula
2 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Use a fork to flake the salmon and set it aside.
  • At the same time, steam the potatoes in a steamer basket over 2 inches of boiling water until they become fork tender, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes and set aside. To the same steamer basket, add the green beans and steam until tender crisp, about 5 minutes. (Check to ensure there is enough water in the bottom pot at all times.)
  • In the meantime, whisk the yogurt, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set it aside.
  • In a large serving dish, arrange the cooked potatoes and green beans on a bed of arugula. Top with the flaked salmon and capers and then pour on the dressing.
  • Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. (If you're planning on enjoying this the next day, do not add the arugula until just before eating.)

ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN SALAD WITH GINGER DRESSING



Asparagus and Chicken Salad With Ginger Dressing image

Asparagus takes easily to many kinds of seasonings, so after you've tired of having it plain with butter or homemade mayonnaise, try this spicy dressing laced with ginger and chiles. Adding smoked chicken is a nice way to make a more substantial first course or light lunch. You can purchase smoked chicken at better butcher shops or online, but equally good is grilled chicken at room temperature, or cold poached chicken. I sometimes substitute lightly smoked ham or smoked slab bacon, simmered until tender.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large shallot, finely diced, about 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt to taste
Generous pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound asparagus
Salt and pepper
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, crushed
3/4 pound smoked chicken, sliced
1 large lime, halved
Basil, mint and cilantro leaves, about 1/2 cup total

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, put shallots in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and cayenne and let steep for 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, then whisk in sesame oil and vegetable oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Snap off the tough end of each asparagus spear, then cut each spear into 2-inch lengths. Cut thicker pieces in half lengthwise as necessary so all cut pieces are approximately the same size. Place asparagus pieces into boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain and cool under running water. Blot dry.
  • To make the salad, put asparagus in a salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add chile, if using, and crushed peanuts. Dress with half the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
  • Arrange dressed asparagus on a platter or on individual plates. Tear chicken slices into strips and scatter over asparagus. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the salad and give it a good squeeze of lime. Garnish with basil, mint and cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Fresh ingredients always yield the best results. Opt for organic vegetables and free-range chicken whenever possible. - Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. - Use a good quality mayonnaise for the dressing. A homemade mayonnaise is always best, but a store-bought mayonnaise will also work. - If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill. However, fresh dill will give the dressing a much more vibrant flavor. - Serve the chicken salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. ###
