SEARED SALMON WITH HORSERADISH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry and coat with salt and pepper.

• Lightly toss the dressing with greens, chickpeas, and cucumbers and place on a plate. Place the salmon on top. Arrange the orange segments around artistically and then sprinkle with scallions.
• Lightly chop the dill leaves and place in a bowl. Whisk in mustard and olive oil. Then add red wine vinegar and a pinch of black pepper and salt.

SALMON WITH MAPLE AND MUSTARD SEED SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick pan until it is very hot.
• Pat the fish dry, remove the skin and season both sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Put the fish, skin (now skinless) side down and cook for about 4 minutes. Turn over and sear on the other side, for another 3-4 minutes.
• While the salmon is cooking, mix the water, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, mustard seeds, dill and scallions together.
• Remove the salmon and place on a covered plate and cover loosely with foil to keep it warm.
• Remove the pan from the heat for about one minute. Return to the heat and pour in the mustard/maple mixture. Whisk the ingredients into the pan and allow the liquid to reduce slightly.
• Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

SALMON SALAD NIçOISE

Steps:

• Combine sherry vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl; stir briskly until vinaigrette is well combined.
• Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking briskly after each addition. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until well combined; set aside.
• Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, making sure the water level is above the potatoes. Add green beans and boil until beans are bright-green and tender crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Sieve out green beans and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and place in a large bowl.
• Test potatoes for doneness by slightly piercing a potato with a sharp knife. If done, the knife should slip in with only a slight resistance. Drain potatoes, cool slightly, slice in half, and add to the bowl. Add bell pepper and drizzle vinaigrette over salad. Toss until well combined.
• Line a serving plate with lettuce leaves and arrange potatoes, green beans, and pepper strips on top. Evenly place olive halves around the salad.
• Lightly toss the sliced cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt, and place around the plate.
• Place salmon flakes on top of salad. Slice egg in half, and place one half of the egg on each side of the plate. Serve.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CRUNCHY SWEET MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Vinaigrette:
• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, and shallot together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the honey, then the oil, until the dressing is emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The vinaigrette can be made a few hours in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and whisk or shake well before serving.)
• Salmon:
• 1. Heat your grill to high.
• 2. Brush the fish on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon skin side down until the skin is lightly charred and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the fillets over, reduce the heat to medium or move to a cooler part of the grill, and cook until just cooked through but not falling apart, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• 3. Remove the fish to serving plates or a platter and spoon a few tablespoons of vinaigrette over each fillet. Serve immediately.
