Instructions

Sprinkle the salmon filets with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick pan over high heat. Add the oil to the pan and then add the fish. Cook the salmon about 2-3 minutes. Then flip the salmon and cook another minute on the skin side. Remove the salmon and place on a plate and set aside.
On a large platter arrange the salad ingredients.
In a blender combine the vinaigrette ingredients and puree on high until smooth. Season to taste with kosher salt.
Top the salad with the salmon and drizzle everything with the ginger vinaigrette.

Notes

The vinaigrette/dressing on this is out of this world. You might want a double batch because then you can drizzle it over veggies, another salad, grilled chicken, steak, pasta, quinoa, rice or just about anything else and call it a day.
