- olive oil
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- radicchio or red endive leaves washed and dried
salad ingredients
- red endive or radicchio lettuce
- mache or other spring greens

- strawberries hulled and cut in half

dressing
- olive oil and vinegar in equal parts
- minced garlic
- grainy mustard
- honey
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan on medium high for several minutes so it gets really hot. Brush the salmon with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear the fish for 3-6 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Set aside.
- Arrange the lettuces and veggies in a wide shallow bowl, and place the fish in the center. Garnish with edible flowers and fresh herbs, if you like. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.
- For the dressing, whisk together the oil and vinegar with the other ingredients to taste.
