Indulge in a flavorful fusion of crispy sesame salmon and crunchy fried capers in this tantalizing salad. Perfect for a refreshing and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 (170g) center-cut salmon filets
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained, and dried
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups mixed baby greens
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Warm up 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a big pan over medium-high heat. Coat the tops of the salmon pieces with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the skin becomes crispy and golden. Turn the fish and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the fish easily flakes and is fully cooked.
  2. While that's cooking, heat the remaining ¼ cup of vegetable oil in a small, shallow pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Put in the capers and fry for half a minute, then let them drain on paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, ginger, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the baby greens, tomatoes, and fried capers. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and mix well. Distribute the salad onto four plates and place a salmon fillet on top of each one.
