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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Two 6-ounce salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup barbecue sauce, homemade or your favorite store-bought
2 ears corn
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups watercress
3 cups chopped romaine
1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup croutons, store-bought or homemade
5 slices cooked bacon, chopped
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 avocado, cut into cubes
Ranch Dressing, recipe follows
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
Put the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and brush with the barbecue sauce. Bake until firm and the thickest part flakes through, 12 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then flake with a fork.
Meanwhile, brush the corn with the olive oil and season with salt. Put on the grill pan and grill, turning every 2 minutes, until grill-marked and tender on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Let cool, then slice the kernels off the cob.
Add the watercress and romaine to a large serving bowl. Top with the salmon flakes, corn, tomatoes, croutons, bacon, egg and avocado. Pour on about 1/3 cup of the Ranch Dressing, toss and serve.
Add the mayonnaise, yogurt, buttermilk, chives, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a medium bowl and mix to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
