Northwest Salmon Salad image

I love that I can use my favorite Northwest ingredients-fresh salmon, blueberries and hazelnuts-all in one recipe. The salmon and sour cream dressing are just as scrumptious in a sandwich. -Davis Clevenger, Dexter, Oregon

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound rainbow fingerling potatoes, quartered
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces haricot verts, trimmed
4 large eggs
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 head Boston, Bibb or butter lettuce, leaves separated
One 4- to 6-ounce smoked salmon fillet, broken into large chunks
16 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup nicoise or kalamata olives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the haricot verts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and place on one side of a second baking sheet. Place the eggs on the other side of the baking sheet. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, add the second baking sheet to the oven. Continue to roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy in spots and easily pierced with a fork and the green beans are tender and crisp in spots, about 15 minutes more.
  • Immediately submerge the eggs into a bowl of ice water and let sit for 10 minutes. Peel and quarter the eggs.
  • Mix the vinegar, mustard, thyme leaves and red onion in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified.
  • Divide the lettuce among serving plates. Arrange the potatoes, haricot verts, salmon, eggs, cherry tomatoes and olives on top of the lettuce and drizzle each plate with some of the dressing. Sprinkle with salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

HOT SMOKED SALMON WITH SALAD OF APPLES, DRIED CHERRIES, HAZELNUTS AND GREENS AND APPLE CIDER VINAIGRETTE



Hot Smoked Salmon with Salad of Apples, Dried Cherries, Hazelnuts and Greens and Apple Cider Vinaigrette image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time P1DT8h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns
1 (3 to 3 1/2-pound) piece center-cut salmon, skin on, pin bones removed, halved
Alderwood chips, soaked in cold water for 4 hours
Salad of Apple, Dried Cherries, Hazelnuts and Greens with Apple Cider Vinaigrette, recipe follows
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
4 ounces organic baby greens, roughly chopped
1 Gala apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup peeled, toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar and peppercorns. Spread extra-wide aluminum foil a little longer than the length of the fish on the work surface and top with an equally long layer of plastic wrap. Lay 1 half of the salmon, skin-side down, on the plastic wrap. Sprinkle the rub onto the flesh of the salmon. Place the second half of the salmon, flesh-side down, on top the first half. Fold the plastic over to cover, and then close the foil edges together and crimp tightly around the fish.
  • Place the wrapped fish onto a sheet pan and top with another sheet pan. Weigh down with a brick or 2 and refrigerate for 12 hours. Flip the fish over and refrigerate another 12 hours. Some juice will leak out during the process so make sure there's a place for the runoff to gather.
  • Unwrap the fish and rinse off the cure mixture with cold water. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place in a cool, dry place (not the refrigerator) until the surface of the fish is dry and matte-like, 1 to 3 hours depending on humidity. A fan may be used to speed the process.
  • Prepare a smoker with alderwood chips. Smoke the salmon over the smoldering chips, keeping the temperature inside the smoker at about 200 degrees F, until the thickest part of the fish registers 150 degrees F, about 1 hour. Serve immediately or cool to room temperature, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Place the salmon on a platter. Drizzle with some of the reserved Apple Cider Vinaigrette, and top with the Salad of Apple, Dried Cherries, Hazelnuts and Greens. Serve.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard and salt and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Reserve some to drizzle over the fish. Add the greens, apples, cherries and hazelnuts to the remaining vinaigrette and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
