Ingredients: olive-oil spray 8 slices pumpernickel bread, preferably whole grain, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (4 cups) 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 1 pound fresh salmon fillet (or two 6-ounce cans, drained) 2 tablespoons drained capers 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 1/2 cup red wine vinegar 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon olive oil 8 red lettuce leaves Directions:1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Coat a large baking sheet with olive-oil spray. Place bread cubes on baking sheet; spray with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Bake 10 minutes, until toasted. 2. Meanwhile, put salmon in a shallow, microwave-safe dish (skip the cooking step when using canned). Cover with plastic and microwave on high 3 minutes, until fish is fork-tender, rotating dish halfway through cooking.* 3. Using two forks, break up fish into 2-inch pieces. Discard skin and transfer salmon to a large bowl. Add capers and dill; toss to combine. 4. To prepare vinaigrette, in a small bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard and olive oil. Pour half of the mixture over salmon and toss to coat. Add bread cubes; toss to combine. 5. Arrange lettuce on four plates. Top with pumpernickel-salmon mixture. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over top. *To poach salmon on stove top: Place fish in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Set pan over high heat and bring water to a boil. Once water boils, immediately remove pan from heat. Let stand 10 minutes. Drain and use as directed. |
