How to Make Seared Salmon With Grapes On A Bed Of Greens

  1. **Marinate the Salmon:** In a large zip-top bag, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add salmon fillets (about 6 oz per person) and seal the bag, ensuring the salmon is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours).
  2. **Prepare the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. **Prep the Salad:** Combine 5 oz mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula) and 1 cup red grapes (halved) in a large bowl. Add 1/3 of the dressing and toss gently to coat.
  4. **Sear the Salmon:** Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade, reserving the marinade. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the hot pan.
  5. **Cook the Salmon:** Sear salmon for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. (Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets).
  6. **Assemble and Serve:** Divide the salad among plates. Top with the seared salmon. Garnish with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 chopped scallions per plate. Serve immediately with the remaining dressing on the side.
  7. Enjoy!
