Serves 2
Salad Ingredients:
2 handfuls of baby arugula
3 blood oranges, sliced
1/2 small shallot, thinly sliced
1/2 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
1 (15oz) canned beets, sliced
Salad Dressing Ingredients:
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon of honey
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Salmon Ingredients:
S
almon fillet (6-8 oz), about 1/2” thick, cut in half for 2 servings
Salmon Glaze Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon fresh orange juice
Pinch of Kosher salt
Directions:
1. Prepare the salad, and thinly slice all of the vegetables.
2. Whisk together the salad dressing ingredients. Set aside.
3. Prepare the salmon glaze. In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook the garlic until fragrant and then add the remaining glaze ingredients. Stir to combine.
4. Turn the heat up to high, and add the salmon to the glaze with the skin side up. Depending on the size of the salmon fillet, sear for 2-3 minutes. Flip once and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Salmon should be seared on the outside, but still tender on the inside. Internal temperature should reach 145 F.
5. Drizzle the salad dressing over the bed of arugula, and then arrange other ingredients on top of the arugula.
6. Serve with the salmon fillet on the side. Enjoy!
