Salmon Kale Salad With Lemon Dressing Recipes

SALMON KALE SALAD WITH LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F/ 180 C/gas mark 4.
• Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients and stirring until smooth. Season to taste and refrigerate.
• Make crispy kale by spreading the chopped kale over a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil, then rub the kale between the palms of your hands to ensure it's coated in oil evenly. Spread over the sheet again (the leaves shouldn't overlap each other) and bake in the centre of the oven for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven half way through and give a gentle stir. The kale is ready when it starts turning brown around the edges (take care not to let it brown too much) and makes a rustling sound when you touch it. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool (5 minutes should suffice).
• Assemble the salad: combine the salmon with avocado and eggs, season lightly and drizzle over the dressing. Scatter the crispy kale over the whole thing and serve.

SALMON WITH WHOLE LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine finely chopped lemon, shallot, oregano and vinegar for the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, and add 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
• Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (or other 2-quart equivalent). Spoon half the lemon dressing over the salmon, and place in the oven until salmon is just cooked through but still a nice orange-pink in the thickest parts for more of a medium-rare salmon, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
• Meanwhile, scatter lettuces onto a large serving platter. Once salmon is out of the oven, use a spoon or spatula to transfer it to the serving platter with the lettuces, leaving behind the skin. Spoon remaining lemon dressing over the salmon and lettuces. Serve alongside cucumbers or radishes, or both, for crunch.
