Salmon Greek Salad
This is one of my favorite salads ever. You can really use any kind of meat or fish you want but I love it with grilled or sauteed salmon. Serves 4.
Ingredients:
4 large wild-caught salmon fillets, 6-8 oz. each
1 tablespoon grass-fed butter
8 eggs
4 C zucchini noodles (or thin slice)
1/2 C kalamata olives
1/2 C feta cheese
2 C chopped cucumber
1/8 C super high-quality extra virgin olive oil
1/4 C balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
1 t each dried oregano, parsley, and dill
Optional: a few cherry tomatoes, if you tolerate nightshades (not recommended)
Directions:
Salt the salmon fillets and fry them in a hot buttered cast iron pan for a couple minutes on each side, so they are still rare in the middle. For the soft-boiled eggs, start with boiling a few inches of water in a medium pan until there is a roiling boil. Lower the eggs into the boiling water with a large spoon and immediately set a timer to simmer for 8 minutes. After the timer goes off, pour out the simmering water and fill with cold tap water to stop them from cooking. Peal and quarter the eggs. Plate the zucchini, cucumber, salmon, feta, eggs, and olives. Drizzle the dish with o.o. (olive oil), balsamic, herbs, and sea salt. Yum!
