Fresh Wild Caught Salmon Filet
Arugula & Baby Romaine with Tofu & Edamame
Dijon Walnut Oil Vinaigrette
Crispy Skin Salmon Filet
Rinse the filet, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with fresh ground pepper and a modest amount of sea salt. Heat a non-stick skillet on high. Add canola oil, wait a few seconds then put the salmon, skin side down, on the hot oil. Turn the heat to medium high. Cook until the skin is crispy, flip, and cook the other side just briefly.
Cook frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans) in boiling water. Drain and bring to room temperature. Cut firm tofu in small dice. Toss wild arugula and baby romaine with Dijon Walnut Oil Vinaigrette. Plate the lettuces and top with tofu and edamame. Drizzle a bit more vinaigrette over the tofu and edamame.
Dijon Walnut Oil Vinaigrette
- 2 t. minced garlic
- 2 t. minced shallot
- 2 T. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 t. sea salt
- 1/4 t. freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 c sherry vinegar
- 1 c. walnut oil
Put all ingredients in a jar, screw on the lid, and shake very well.
Place salmon atop the salad, lovely crispy skin side up.
This salad is rich in fish and non-fish sources of omega-3.
The omega-3 fatty acids in fish are good for your heart. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that’s thought to reduce inflammation throughout the body. They are also believed to improve learning ability in children, decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, enhance immune function and improve arthritis symptoms. Other non-fish food options that do contain some omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, canola oil, soybeans and soybean oil.

Sounds so good and healthy! I feel healthier just reading about it! LOL
Love that vinaigrette. That's one to try! Delicious meal.
Crispy skin is a must for me when eating a fish fillet. The important thing here is to leave the fish alone and let the hot skillet to do its job.
That salad is chock full of good things! Beautiful AND healthy!
