Summer salmon salad

Today's recipe is something quite simple and refreshing. I think that everyone can prepare it.
This salad can be done as an appetizer or as an main course.You just need the following ingredients:


4 oz of salmon fillet

4 0z mixed greens

pitted Kalamata olives

thinly sliced red onion

seeded cucumber

peeled orange segments

lemon juice

extra virgin olive oil


First of all, cut the salmon in 3-4 pieces, add salt and pepper, heat up a little oil,

then lightly sear the fish on both sides.

It can be cooked through or can be let under done, depends how you prefer it.

Meanwhile the fish cools off, you can start preparing the salad.

Toss the greens,onions, olives, orange segments and cucumber,

with a squeeze of lemon then add olive oil, salt and pepper.

Place the salad on a center of the plate and the salmon as pictured.


The wine I suggest with this salad is Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Macrina 2006
