Ingredients
- 10 ounces halibut about 4-5 ounces each, or 2 small filets
- 2 arugula baby; or other baby lettuce
- 1 mâche handful
- 4 radish thinly sliced
- 8 cherry tomato halved
- 1 shallot peeled and very thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp dill chopped, fresh
garnish
- pansy or other edible flower
Meyer lemon vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 tsp mustard
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a saucepan of well salted water, deep enough to cover the fish, to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and gently place the fish in the pan. Let them simmer for 5 minutes, or until opaque throughout. Turn off the heat, cover, and set aside while you assemble the salad.
- Add a base of greens to two bowls. Add the rest of the ingredients over top. When ready to eat, place the fish in the bowl, to one side. Give the salads a few grinds of fresh pepper, and, if you're using the edible flowers, garnish at the last minute.
- Whisk together the dressing and add more lemon if you like it more tart. Serve the dressing on the side for drizzling.
Notes
- For a vegetarian salad replace the fish with a nice piece of burrata cheese.
- Any type of fish, poached, grilled, pan fried, whatever, works with this salad. Grilled shrimp or pan seared scallops would be great too.
- I made my dressing a simple vinaigrette, but for a creamier dressing, add a teaspoon of honey, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and shake it up vigorously until it emulsifies. Adjust the lemon to your taste.
- You can always make a quick 30 SECOND TARTAR SAUCE to go with your halibut.
