For the Salmon:
- 1 lb salmon cut into 4 4-ounce filets
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Salad:
- 1 bunch fresh watercress
- ½ cup chopped scallion leaves
- ½ cup cilantro leaves
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- 1 cup Mango small diced

- 1 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
- kosher salt
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.

- 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.
