Seared Salmon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
• Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
• Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

Steps:

• Thaw fish if frozen.
• Rinse fish; pat dry.
• Sprinkle fish lightly with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the ground cumin.
• In a medium nonstick skillet heat olive or cooking oil over medium high heat; add fish.
• Cook fish on one side for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden.
• Turn carefully.
• Cook for 4 to 5 minutes more or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Meanwhile, divide greens, jicama and olives among 2 salad plates.
• Set aside.
• To serve place 1 fish fillet atop greens on each plate.
• Combine salad dressing and remaining cumin; drizzle atop salmon.

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the kale, toss to coat and let stand 10 minutes.
• While the kale stands, cut the dates into thin slivers and the apple into matchsticks. Add the dates, apples, cheese and almonds to the kale. Season with pepper, toss well and set aside.
• Sprinkle the salmon all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch, about 3 minutes more.
• Divide the salmon, salad and rolls evenly among four plates.

Steps:

• For the salmon: Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and fresh orange juice in a shallow dish. Add the salmon and marinate for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix the sesame seeds together. Dredge 1 side of the salmon in the sesame seeds and pan sear the seeded side only. In a saute pan over high heat, add a touch of sesame oil and sear the fillet in the middle of the pan until you smell the sesame seeds cooking, about15 seconds. Flip to the other side and cook for 10 seconds. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and cook until desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes.
• For the vinaigrette: In a food processor, blend the miso paste with the sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Slowly add the olive oil, soy sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the vegetables: In a skillet over medium-high, saute the zucchini, yellow squash, and carrot in the olive oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce for about 45 seconds.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, toss the greens with 2 ounces of the miso-soy vinaigrette and arrange on a plate. Place the stir-fried vegetables on top. Sprinkle with the cashews and tomato slices. Arrange the salmon on top and drizzle with a little sweet soy sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat a large heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Coat salmon with olive oil. Place in skillet, and increase heat to high. Cook for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with capers, and salt and pepper. Turn salmon over, and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
• Transfer salmon to individual plates, and garnish with lemon slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a small bowl, combine the garlic, maple syrup, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Brush the marinade over the salmon fillets. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the smoked paprika, turmeric, pepper, cumin, salt, cayenne, and cinnamon. Toss to combine. Set aside.
• Add the butternut squash and sweet potatoes to a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are soft.
• Pour the spiced chickpeas onto a second sheet pan and spread out into an even layer. Toss to coat. Bake for 40 minutes, or until chickpeas are browned and crispy.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the tahini, maple syrup, garlic, lemon juice, remaining ¼ cup of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk well.
• In a large bowl, add the chopped kale, roasted squash and sweet potatoes, barley, roasted chickpeas, shallot, pecans, and tahini dressing. Toss to combine.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. In batches, sear the salmon skin-side down for 3 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes.
• Arrange the salad on a platter and top with the seared salmon.
• Enjoy!
