Galbani® Ciliegine and Crispy Salmon Salad
Ingredients
SALAD
- 1 large Salmon fillet (skin-on)
- 1 tsp. Paprika
- 3–4 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 head Butter lettuce
- 7–8 leaves Radicchio
- ½ pint Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup Yellow zucchini, julienned
- 8 oz. Galbani Fresh Mozzarella Ciliegine, drained
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
DRESSING
- 2 tbsp. Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2–3 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Large garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tsp. Dried oregano
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- To make the dressing, whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, smashed garlic cloves, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Let sit while you prepare salad.
- To make the salad, season salmon generously with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place 1 tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet.
- Cook skin-side down for about 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook 3–4 minutes on the other side until the salmon easily releases from the pan and is cooked through.
- Remove salmon from the skillet, remove the skin, and let cool.
- While pan is still hot, add a touch more oil and Brussels sprouts. Flip sprouts until they develop a nice char, and remove.
- Arrange butter lettuce and radicchio leaves in the bottom of a serving bowl. Add Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, julienned yellow zucchini, and Ciliegine.
- Break apart pieces of cooled salmon and salmon skin—and tumble decoratively on the top.
- Remove the garlic from the dressing, whisk again, and pour over salad. Serve.
