Warm Salmon Salad
3 cups cubed red potatoes
4 cups diagonally sliced asparagus - 1"
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 cups gourmet salad greens
4 tablespoons sliced green onions
8 cherry tomatoes -- quartered
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pesto basil sauce
Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water, and bring to a
boil. Reduce heat; simmer 12 minutes. Add asparagus; cook 3 minutes
or until potatoes are tender. Drain. Sprinkle salt and pepper over
salmon.
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat. Add salmon; cook 4 minutes on each side or until
fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Flake salmon into
chunks; set aside. Discard skin.
Combine salmon, potato mixture, salad greens,
green onions, and tomatoes in a bowl. Combine vinegar and pesto;
drizzle over salad, and toss gently. |
