SALMON NIÇOISE SALAD FOR TWO

Kitchen Notes

Pair with a French Chenin Blanc (pictured) or South African Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ingredients

For The Niçoise Salad 8-10 baby red potatoes rinsed and diced ½ pound French green beans 1 English cucumber 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved 4-6 Radishes sliced (I prefer watermelon, but regular is ok) ½ cup roughly chopped Castelvetrano olives OR Kalamata olives, pitted 1 tablespoon capers or caperberries to taste Crumbled Feta to taste Chopped parsley on top For The Dressing ¼ cup olive oil 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Salmon 2 center-cut, skin-on salmon fillets – ~9-10 oz. each 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Rinse and dice the potatoes. I like to make them in an air fryer, 8-10 minutes on 400 degrees. Steam the French green beans in the bag in the microwave. Peel the cucumber and cut it into slices, halve the grape cucumbers, and slice the radishes.

For the dressing, combine the ingredients.

Season the salmon with the olive oil, salt, and ground pepper, and roast the fillets in an air fryer for 9 minutes at 400 degrees.
