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

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.

Steps:
- Thaw salmon, if frozen. Rinse salmon; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. Peel a strip around the center of each potato. In a covered large saucepan, cook potatoes in enough lightly salted boiling water to cover for 10 minutes. Add green beans. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes more or until potatoes and beans are tender. Drain. Rinse with cold water to cool quickly; drain again. Set aside. Meanwhile, measure thickness of salmon fillets. Sprinkle salmon with lemon-pepper seasoning. Lightly coat both sides of salmon fillets with cooking spray. For a charcoal grill, place salmon fillets on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling if fish is over 3/4 inch thick. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place salmon fillets on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Cut salmon into serving-size pieces. Line six plates with salad greens. Arrange salmon, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, chives, eggs, and olives on greens. Drizzle with Lemon Vinaigrette. LEMON VINAIGRETTE: In a screw-top jar, combine lemon peel, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well.
