Kristi Parnell of San Marcos, California, writes: Whether I'm cooking for my family or for company, I like to keep my recipes healthy by using lots of fresh fish and vegetables. The salmon salad is one of my favorite dishes for entertaining. The ginger-lime dressing is always a hit. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided |
2 6- to 7-ounce skinless salmon fillets |
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, divided |
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil, divided |
1 5-ounce bag mixed baby greens |
Directions:
1. Whisk lime juice, ginger, and mustard in small bowl. Slowly whisk in 4 tablespoons oil. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
2. Brush salmon on both sides with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper, then 1 tablespoon dill and 1 tablespoon basil. Press herbs to adhere. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, herb side down; sauté 4 minutes. Turn over; sauté until salmon is just opaque in center, about 5 minutes.
3. Toss greens with remaining herbs and some dressing. Divide between 2 plates. Top with salmon and remaining dressing.
