GRILLED SALMON NIçOISE SALAD
One of our favorite Summer Salad! Grilled Salmon Niçoise Salad with grilled asparagus and vibrant Mediterranean flavors of roasted red peppers, olives, artichokes, tomatoes with spicy arugula. This salad is a great weeknight dinner salad, is healthier, filling and need very less active prep/cook time. Salad Dressing takes 2 minutes to assemble. Grill salmon and asparagus on an indoor grilling pan and you have a protein-packed and delicious summer dinner ready in 30 minutes. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low Carb and Keto Diet Friendly.With such vibrant colors and zippy flavors, I also serve it as Antipasto Salad i.e. Salad before meal, the first Salad course of a three course meal.What you need for Grilled Salmon Niçoise SaladThere are three parts of this Salmon Niçoise Salad:Mustard Caper DressingGrilled Salmon and AsparagusAn array of Vibrant Mediterranean flavors of olives, artichokes, roasted red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes with pepperoncini, eggs and arugula.1. Mustard Caper DressingIngredients for Mustard and Capers (Niçoise) DressingHere's what you need for the dressing:Olive OilLemon JuiceCapersMustardGarlicOreganoWorcestershire Sauce or Anchovy Paste Salt and Black PepperDressing takes only 2 minutes to assemble. Here's what I do to make the dressing: In a small bowl add all salad dressing ingredients (except capers) with 1/4 tsp of salt.Whisk well to emulsify. Mix in chopped capers. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice. Set aside.Spoon over the salad when ready to server.2. Grilled Salmon and AsparagusGrilling Salmon is not only quick, fish also cooks moist and perfectly flaky. In summers, I always prefer to cook food in grill pan or outdoor BBQ. A best way for us to escape the scorching summer of California! Plus nothing beats the flavor of grill on a hot summer evening. Right? Here is how I grill Salmon and Asparagus:I start by seasoning both; salmon fillet and trimmed asparagus. To prepare Salmon for Niçoise Salad, take salmon out on a wide plate. Wipe any liquid on salmon with clean paper towel. Coat salmon in olive oil, season with salt and black pepper. Prepare asparagus the same way.Wiping any liquid from salmon helps salmon get perfect char from grill, and also it will not stick/steam when grilled. Always make sure to start with a hot, pre heated grill. Place Salmon skin side down and place asparagus on the side. Since fish cooks fast and so does asparagus. It makes sense to use same grill pan to grill both, salmon and asparagus, side by side.Salmon is ready to flip when skin gets good grill marks (about 2-3 minutes on a hot grill). Asparagus also starts to change color to crisp green. When turning salmon skin side up, also toss/turn the asparagus so that all pieces pickup some char and flavor. Another 2-3 minutes and salmon is ready.Transfer salmon in a clean plate. Using two forks, gently flake/break salmon apart for serving in salad. Also, rough chop the grilled asparagus. Tip:To avoid salmon skin sticking on grill; always grill salmon on a preheated hot grill coated with a little coat of cooking oil. You can use cooking oil spray or brush.3. Mediterranean flavors for Nicoise SaladFew versions of traditional Niçoise Salad also has green beans and potatoes. However, I decided to pick asparagus oven green beans for two reasons;Love love asparagus. It's healthy, cooks quickly and taste amazing. When in season, I often substitute asparagus for beans.Due to quick cooking time, you one need one pan to cook both salmon and asparagus. Saves from the step of boiling water and blanching beans.Other than asparagus and potatoes (which I skipped), all ingredients are quintessential for a bold flavor Mediterranean salad. Here's what you need to make this salad:Arugula - Go for baby arugula. Baby Arugula is sweeter and tender which pairs well with tomatoes and salmon. Use pre-washed unless using arugula from your own garden (can't get fresher than that!) Pre-washed is quick to use. If washing yourself, please invest in a Salad Spinner. It saves ton of time and delicate leaves are never bruised. I have a basic manual spinner, nothing fancy, which I bought from Ikea for $10. I use it all the time for washing greens. In my opinion, its a best investment for salad lovers. Hard Boiled Eggs - Hard boiled eggs are good filling addition to salad. Of-course, also a usual suspect of Niçoise Salad. If making salad ahead of time then boil and peel eggs and keep refrigerated. Slice for salad just before serving.To hard boil eggs, put eggs in sauce pan and fill with cold water so that eggs are dipped in water. Boil rapidly for 12 minutes. For perfect hard boiled eggs, set aside in hot water for additional 10 minutes.Artichokes, Roasted Red Bell Peppers and Olives - The Three-flavor-bombs of Nicoise Salad as I like to call these. Use water packed artichokes for clean artichoke flavor. Oil packed are fine too. Only get rid of extra oil as sometimes it muddles with flavor of dressing or increase oil in the salad. Same goes with roasted red bell peppers and olives. In short, especially for salads, water or brine packed are better than oil packed.Cherry Tomatoes - Go for ripe sweet cherry or grape tomatoes. The fresh ripe seasonal tomatoes work perfect too.Tip:Make ahead this Salad by making the dressing; boil eggs, chop and pack other ingredients in a container. Salmon and asparagus are best when cooked fresh, up-to an hour or just before serving.4. AssemblyFor good presentation, assemble salad in layers on a large oval or round platter. For weeknights, you can go easy and serve any way you prefer. For Niçoise, I love to drizzle dressing on salad just before serving. Ingredients in this salad already pack a big punch of flavor. However, the tangy mustard-lemon Caper dressing brings out the flavor even more. You will love the combination of dressing with hard boiled eggs (pure yum!)That said, assembly is really easy! Here's how you assemble the Grilled Salmon Niçoise Salad:Start with a big platter that is narrow in depth.Layer arugula as base green.Keep warm ingredients together i.e. layer salmon, hard boiled sliced eggs and grilled asparagus as first three layers (three lines) of salad. Next, layer cherry tomatoes followed by olives, artichokes, and red bell peppers.Drizzle few spoons of Salad dressing on all layers. Serve remaining dressing on the side.Sounds easy, right? Always remember to use fresh and quality ingredients. This Salmon Salad is so easy to prep and looks like a million dollars. I bet anyone would want to dig-in, right away!Note:Grilled Salmon Salad is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Keto Diet Friendly. Unlike regular Niçoise Salad with potatoes, Salmon Niçoise is also low in carbs and starch. Plus loads of veggies and Mediterranean flavors make it a perfectly healthy and filling dinner.Next trip to grocery store.. bring home some fresh salmon and asparagus. Try delicious Grilled Salmon Salad for dinner or wow your guests by serving as Antipasto Salad. (I know if you love Mediterranean flavors, the rest of ingredients are in your pantry, already!)Happy Cooking! Savita x

ROASTED SALMON NICOISE PLATTER
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- For the marinade, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, mustard, garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 tablespoon pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
- Place the salmon on a sheet pan that has been covered in aluminum foil, and drizzle the marinade over the salmon. Allow the salmon to sit for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in thick slices and set aside.
- Place the salmon in the oven and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is almost cooked through. Remove to a plate and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the skin and break into large pieces.
- Blanch the haricots verts in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 1/2 minutes only. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water. Drain again and set aside.
- For the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.
- Arrange the salmon, potatoes, haricots verts, tomatoes, eggs, watercress, olives and anchovies, if used, on a large flat platter. Drizzle some vinaigrette over the fish and vegetables and serve the rest in a pitcher on the side.

Steps:
- Discard the skin of the salmon, and cut it into 4 equal steaks. Sprinkle each steak with salt and black pepper, pressing it firmly into the steaks with your hand. Coat lightly in oil, and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Rub the yellow pepper with a little vegetable oil, and grill or roast until the skin is well blistered. Allow to cool, and then peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, slice into 8 pieces, and place in a bowl. Cut the tomatoes into 6 wedges each, and slice the new potatoes if they seem very large.
- Combine all the vegetables, season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil, and parsley. Leave to come to room temperature.
- To make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender, and pulse until smooth and emulsified.
- To cook the salmon, heat a large grill pan, (preferably cast iron) over high heat until almost smoking. Add the salmon, and sear for 1-3 minutes on each side.
- To serve, divide the vegetables among the plates, and place a salmon steak in the centre of each. Surround with a generous drizzle of the dressing, and serve at once.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED SALMON NIçOISE SALAD
Here, the classic French salad becomes an elegant dinner, with mustard-glazed salmon in place of tuna, roasted vegetables and jammy eggs served over a jumble of salad greens tossed with a red-wine vinaigrette. Roasting the vegetables, rather than serving some steamed and some raw as you would for a traditional Niçoise, gives this dish great texture and a delicious contrast of temperatures. The vegetables and salmon are roasted on a single sheet pan, making this an elevated take on the one-dish dinner - fit for company and easy enough for a weeknight.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees and place a rack near the top of the oven. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Arrange the potatoes so the cut sides are facing down and roast for 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes roast, fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the eggs and cook over medium heat for exactly 6 minutes. Remove the eggs, and when they are cool enough to handle, peel and quarter them.
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, the garlic, anchovy (if using), 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in 4 tablespoons of olive oil and set aside.
- Add the haricots verts, tomatoes and olives to the sheet pan with the potatoes, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using tongs, toss well, then move the vegetables to the sides to create space in the center of the sheet pan. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them, skin-side down, in the center of the sheet pan.
- Brush fillets with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast on the top rack in the oven for 10 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown the salmon. (If you don't have a broiler, roast salmon for an additional 2 to 3 minutes instead.) The salmon should flake easily and be just cooked in the center.
- Add the greens to the large bowl with the dressing, and toss gently. Place greens on a large platter, leaving a narrow border at the platter's edges. Place the salmon fillets in the middle of the platter, then arrange the roasted vegetables and eggs around them. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
SHEET-PAN SALMON NIçOISE
No need to wait for warm weather to enjoy the flavors of this classic French salad-this sheet-pan recipe transforms it into a low-fuss, impressive dinner. With the roasted green beans, tomatoes and potatoes, this meal is still largely vegetable-based, just like the original. Salmon fillets, replacing the traditional tuna, add a richness that makes this meal particularly satisfying during colder weather. Adding a white wine-thyme vinaigrette is an easy way to add bright, zingy flavor to the whole meal. So next time you need a break from all the heavy foods of winter, give this one-and-done dinner a try!
