Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 300 grams baby potatoes
- 150 grams green beans
- 150 grams mixed salad greens
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 pieces hard-boiled eggs
- 75 grams black olives (Niçoise or Kalamata)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillet on the tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the salmon is baking, boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly before slicing into halves.
Blanch the green beans by boiling them for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transferring them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs into halves or quarters.
Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, remaining salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
In a large serving dish, arrange the mixed salad greens as a base. Layer on the baby potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes (halved), sliced eggs, and black olives.
Flake the baked salmon into large chunks and add it to the salad.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
