Grilled Salmon Salad With Orange Basil Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup Marie's Balsamic Vinaigrette, pepper, honey, and orange liqueur to make glaze. Zest orange and add to the glaze.
• Slice peel off orange, removing all of white pith. Slice oranges into rounds, then into quarters. Reserve.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. Cover a broiler pan with nonstick foil. Sprinkle salmon with salt. Broil salmon, brushing often with glaze until cooked, about 8 minutes. Do not turn.
• Toss spring mix with asparagus, fennel, and remaining 1/2 cup Marie's Balsamic Vinaigrette. Divide among 4 plates and top with salmon. Garnish salads with orange pieces and Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Lightly coat the salmon with oil and grill to desired doneness.
• Lightly toss the dressing with greens, chickpeas, and cucumbers and place on a plate. Place the salmon on top. Arrange the orange segments around artistically and then sprinkle with scallions.
• Lightly chop the dill leaves and place in a bowl. Whisk in mustard and olive oil. Then add red wine vinegar and a pinch of black pepper and salt.

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Place a medium pot of water on the stove to boil. While the grill heats and the water comes to a boil, prepare the Orange Vinaigrette, and set aside until needed.
• Trim the bottoms of the asparagus and cook for 30 seconds in the boiling water. Remove from the pot to a plate.
• Place the salmon fillets on a large plate and coat with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Put the salmon fillets on the hottest part of the grill, starting with the skinless side down. Grill for about 5 to 10 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
• While the salmon is grilling, combine the salad greens, olives, oranges, onions, and half of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Divide the salad mixture evenly among 4 plates.
• When the salmon is nearly done, coat the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Put the asparagus on the grill. Grill lightly, moving the spears around the heat frequently with tongs, for about 3 minutes.
• Remove the salmon and asparagus from the grill and distribute them evenly among the 4 plates on top of the greens mixture. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salmon and serve.
• Zest the oranges with a zester or the fine side of a box grater. Finely chop the zest with a knife, then squeeze the juice out of the oranges into a small stainless steel bowl. Add the zest, shallots, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to the orange juice and whisk together. Slowly, in a steady stream, add the canola oil and extra-virgin olive oil while constantly whisking, until combined. Add the salt, pepper, and orange oil; the orange oil is strong, so just a very small amount is needed. Set the dressing aside while preparing the rest of the salad.

• Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Steps:

• Whisk together juice concentrate, vinegar, basil and olive oil. Set aside 2 tablespoons juice concentrate mixture. Reserve remaining mixture to use as salad dressing.
• Prepare grill for direct grilling. Grill salmon, skin side up, over medium coals 5 minutes. Turn and grill 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork, brushing frequently with 2 tablespoons juice concentrate mixture. Cool slightly.
• Toss together greens, strawberries and cucumber slices. Place on two serving plates.
• Remove skin from salmon. Break salmon into chunks. Arrange salmon on greens mixture. Drizzle with reserved juice concentrate mixture. Sprinkle with pepper.

Steps:

• Vinaigrette:
• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, and shallot together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the honey, then the oil, until the dressing is emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The vinaigrette can be made a few hours in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and whisk or shake well before serving.)
• Salmon:
• 1. Heat your grill to high.
• 2. Brush the fish on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon skin side down until the skin is lightly charred and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the fillets over, reduce the heat to medium or move to a cooler part of the grill, and cook until just cooked through but not falling apart, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• 3. Remove the fish to serving plates or a platter and spoon a few tablespoons of vinaigrette over each fillet. Serve immediately.
