Super-healthy and really light, this beautiful salad is bright-looking and -tasting. These days it's not too difficult to find great-quality raw salmon. If you ask your local market for sushi-grade salmon, its freshness will be guaranteed. Once you have found the salmon, the hard work is done.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

4 oranges
1 or 2 limes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
6 cups mâche (lamb's lettuce) leaves
2 cups frisée lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced (optional)
7 ounces sushi-grade salmon, skin removed
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Grate the zest of 1 orange and the lime into a large bowl. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of juice from the grated orange and 2 tablespoons of juice from the grated lime into the bowl (you may need a second lime to get the 2 tablespoons of juice). Whisk in the soy sauce and the oil. Set the dressing aside.

    Step 2

    Use a sharp knife to slice the rind and pith from the remaining oranges. Working over a mixing bowl, cut between the membranes to free the orange segments, letting them drop into the bowl. Pour any juice into a cup and reserve it for another use. Add the mâche, frisée, and cucumbers, if using, to the orange segments. Using a large sharp knife, cut the salmon into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Add the salmon to the bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, and toss gently to coat. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Divide the salad among 4 serving plates. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, and serve.
