Broiled Salmon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil, and spray with nonstick spray.
• Place garlic and olive oil in a small microwave safe bowl and cook on High for 1 1/2 minutes. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and stir in the garlic mixture. Remove from heat; stir in the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, white wine, black pepper, garlic salt, and fines herbs.
• Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared pan. Spoon about 1/3 of the butter sauce over the fillets, and sprinkle evenly with the fresh dill.
• Broil in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Turn salmon fillets so that the side of the fillet faces up, and baste fillets with about 1/3 of the butter sauce; broil for 3 minutes. Turn the fillets to place the opposite side facing up; spoon on the remaining butter sauce; broil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 additional minutes.

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the broiler to high and set an oven rack on the top third of the oven if your broiler is on top.
• Place the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the pieces evenly with the salt and drizzle both sides with the olive oil. Broil until the fish flakes easily but is still moist inside, 4 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove to cool slightly, about 3 minutes.
• For the salad: Meanwhile, soak the fennel rings and radish matchsticks in a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes. Drain well and spin or pat dry. Whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the fennel, radish and basil to the dressing and toss well to coat.
• Place a small mound of salad in the center of each of 4 plates. Top with a piece of salmon and a pinch more salad.

Steps:

• Place salmon steaks in a shallow 1-quart dish; pour 1/4 cup dressing over steaks.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, turning once.
• Cut zucchini and next 3 ingredients into thin strips; combine with cilantro and 1/4 cup dressing, tossing gently.
• Set aside.
• Remove steaks from marinade; place on lightly greased rack of a broiler pan.
• Broil 4 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 5 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
• Cool slightly.
• Arrange salad greens and marinated vegetables on serving plates.
• Top with salmon steaks, tomato wedges, and avocado slices.
• Garnish, if desired, and serve with remaining dressing.
• Yield: 2 servings Lemon and Herb Dressing: Combine all ingredients in a jar; cover tightly, and shake vigorously.
• Yield: 1 1/3 cups.

Steps:

• For the honey vinaigrette: Add the rice wine vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, pepper and garlic to a food processor or blender and pulse. Slowly blend while adding the oil in a steady stream. Remove 1/4 cup of the dressing for the salmon, reserving the rest for the salad.
• For the salmon: Preheat the broiler to high and adjust the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on a foil-lined sheet tray. Broil the salmon 6 inches from the heat 10 to 12 minutes, then brush with the reserved dressing.
• For the lentil salad: Toss together the cooked lentils, pecans, sugar snap peas, scallions, avocados, lemon juice and red pepper. Dress the salad just before serving.
• Serve the broiled salmon over the lentil salad.

Steps:

• In a medium serving bowl, toss together the herbs, scallions, red-pepper flakes, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season with more lemon or oil as needed until the leaves look glossy. Set aside.
• Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from the heat source.
• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and mustard until smooth. Add the asparagus to a large sheet pan, toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Move the asparagus to the sides, and place the salmon skin side down in the center. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, brush the tops and sides with the soy mixture, then toss the asparagus in the rest of the soy mixture. (Use a paper towel to wipe off excess soy on the sheet pan, as it will smoke.)
• Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, and 8 to 10 minutes for medium, depending on the strength of your broiler and the thickness of the salmon. (Reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes for thinner fillets.) If it looks like it's browning too quickly or smoking excessively, move to a lower rack to finish cooking. Top the salmon and asparagus with the herb salad or serve on the side with a final round of pepper.

Steps:

• Drizzle salmon with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Cut salmon into 2 pieces., Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss spinach with remaining vinaigrette. Divide between 2 plates. Top with the salmon, avocado, walnuts, sunflower kernels and cranberries.
