Ingredients

  • 2 4 oz salmon fillets (boneless, skinless )
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 pound mini yellow potatoes
  • 1/2 pounds green beans (trimmed)
  • 4 cups lettuce (such as bibb or butter lettuce, torn into bite size pieces)
  • 2 large hard boiled eggs (quartered)
  • 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives (halved)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. In a small bowl combine onion powder, whole grain mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each salmon filet & reserve the remaining. Bake salmon for 15 to 20 minutes, cool & flake into large pieces. Reserve.
  3. Mix the remaining mustard mixture with white wine vinegar and olive oil. Reserve.
  4. While salmon cooks, prepare veggies: Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, 20-25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add green beans. Drain and rinse under cold water. Separate potatoes & green beans. Halve potatoes. Cool.
  5. Build the salad: Add lettuce to a shallow serving bowl or platter. Working in bunches of the same ingredients top the lettuce with components; flaked salmon, potatoes, green beans, hard boiled eggs, kalamata olives & artichoke hearts. Drizzle with reserved mustard vinaigrette.

Notes

  • Most all lettuce will work– we prefer bibb for a neutral pairing or arugula for a peppery pairing.
