Wilted Green Salmon Recipe With Orange Dressing

Wilted Greens Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
6 cups lettuce, mixed greens
1 small red bell pepper
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 medium orange
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce, reduced sodium
2 teaspoons cooking oil
1 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Method:

1. If using frozen salmon then thaw it 20 minutes before proceeding. Rinse the fillets and pat them dry with the help of paper towels.
2. Combine the orange juice concentrate, honey, reduced-sodium soy sauce, cooking oil, toasted sesame oil, 3 tablespoons water and ginger in a small bowl for the dressing.
3. Lightly grease an unheated rack of a broiler pan. Place the salmon fillets over the greased rack and broil fish 3 to 4 inches from heat for about 5 minutes.
4. Carefully turn the fish using a wide spatula and brush 1 teaspoon of dressing on the cooked side. Broil for 4 to 6 minutes more on the other side or until done. If the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork then consider it done.
5. You may even grill the salmon fillets directly over medium coals on a greased rack of an uncovered grill for 10 to 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
6. Similarly turn the fish carefully and brush it with 1 teaspoon dressing on the grilled side. Remove the fish from the rack and cover it to keep it warm.
7. In a large salad bowl place orange sections and lettuce greens. Transfer the remaining dressing in a large skillet and bring it to a boil. Add red pepper strips and sauté for a minute.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the mixture immediately over the greens and oranges in the large bowl. Toss well to mix.
9. Divide the greens equally among 4 dinner plates. Top each serving with a broiled or grilled salmon steak and serve immediately. This recipe makes 4 servings.
