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.

DELICIOUS FETA-CRUSTED SALMON



Delicious Feta-Crusted Salmon image

I first created this dish when my family suggested I try something other than the same tired (yet still yummy) Asian salmon dish. I whipped this up out of ingredients I had on hand. They thanked me profusely. Now I have a new dish to use. It's pretty rich in flavor, but not so high in fat (depending on what kind of ingredients you use). Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the smoked salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon that has been properly smoked and cured.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette in advance so that the flavors have time to meld. You can make it up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • If you don't have hard-boiled eggs, you can substitute cooked shrimp or chicken.
  • To make the salad more substantial, add a grain like quinoa or farro.
  • For a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the smoked salmon and add more vegetables, such as roasted beets or grilled asparagus.

Conclusion:

A Nicoise salad is a classic French dish that is perfect for a light and refreshing summer meal. This Alaskan smoked salmon Nicoise salad is a variation on the traditional recipe that uses smoked salmon instead of tuna. The combination of smoked salmon, hard-boiled eggs, potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes is delicious and satisfying. The vinaigrette dressing adds a bright and tangy flavor to the salad.
