Protein and Vegetables
- 12 ounces salmon
- 1 head broccoli, trimmed into florets
- 1/2 pound mini-potatoes (about 8 potatoes), thinly sliced
- 1 head romaine heart, chopped
Seasonings and Oils
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil), divided
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Prepare Vegetables: Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, thinly slice the mini-potatoes for quicker cooking, and trim the broccoli into florets to ensure even roasting and tender-crisp texture.
- Cook the Vegetables and Salmon: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to brown. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and broccoli florets to the pan. Season all with a generous pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes, then flip it carefully to the other side. Continue cooking the potatoes until they’re golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes total, stirring broccoli and potatoes occasionally for even charring.
- Make the Dressing: In a mason jar or a small bowl, combine red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, honey, and olive oil. Whisk or shake vigorously until the dressing emulsifies and becomes slightly thickened.
- Assemble the Salad: Place the chopped romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl. Top it with the cooked potatoes, charred broccoli, and perfectly cooked salmon. Drizzle 2 tablespoons or more of the prepared honey-oregano dressing over the top, toss lightly if desired, and serve immediately while the salmon is warm.
Notes
- Use medium heat to prevent burning the potatoes before they cook through.
- Thinly slicing potatoes ensures quicker cooking and a crispy edge.
- If preferred, substitute olive oil for the neutral oil when cooking for added flavor.
- The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Ensure salmon is fresh and skin-on for best texture and flavor.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or dill to the dressing for a fresh twist.
