Archives

It has become something of a challenge for me to retain all of my podcasts in archives. So, I have decided to retain only three months. If you really, really want to hear something from earlier podcasts, please go to the About & Contact page and send me a request. I should be able to dig it up for you. Thanks!

Kathryn Wood’s Grilled or Baked Salmon Salad

 

Ingredients, gauge amounts to the number of people you are feeding:

 

1. Baked or grilled salmon fillet for each person: Preheat grill or preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place fillets in lightly oiled baking pan skin side down. Add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze on fresh lemon juice. Lightly cover with teriyaki sauce. Let sit (marinate) for 10 minutes. Bake in preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon will continue baking for a few minutes once it is removed from the oven; be careful not to over bake.

OR, place marinated fillets on preheated and lightly oiled grill skin side down. Grill until done: approximately 5 – 8 minutes, depending again on the thickness of the fillets.

 

2. Toasted pecans: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread desired amount of pecans on a rimmed baking sheet. For two people, I use a cake pan. Toast in preheated oven for approximately 9 minutes. Watch carefully. Pecans burn easily. Remove from oven. Cool.

 

3.  Mixed greens of your choice. I have been using a triple washed baby spring green mix.

 

4. Baked, sliced and peeled red beets. (Baked and peeled beets are often available in a grocery store’s fresh produce section.)

 

5. Sliced hard boiled eggs.

 

6. Cleaned and sliced green onions.

 

7. Oranges peeled, segmented and sliced into bite-size pieces.

 

8. Diced avocado.

 

9. Grated Parmesan cheese.

 

10. Add or substitute other ingredients of your choice like diced apple, fresh berries, cooked vegetables. Or replace the salmon with other kinds of fish, beef, chicken, tofu or beans.

 

11. Your favorite salad dressing, homemade or bottled.

 

12. Salt and pepper to taste.

 

13. Fresh lemon: squeeze juice on salmon before baking or grilling.

 

Directions:

 

1. Assemble all the salad ingredients except the salmon. Toss. Place in bowls.

Or, set up a salad bar where diners can assemble their own salads. Add dressing, salt and pepper.

 

2. Top the individual salads with a salmon fillet.

 

A crusty bread, a tasty cheese and a good wine make great accompaniments – and make baked salmon salad for dinner special.

 

If you are having guests or celebrating a special occasion, I suggest you end the meal with a homemade apple tart.
