This salad with smoked salmon is one favourite kinds of salads. It\u2019s light, fresh tasting, and packed with flavor. It\u2019s made with sweet orange, fennel, fresh dill, capers, and pine nuts, which is tossed in an orange vinaigrette and served over a bed of young, spring arugula leaves. And it\u2019s simply spectacular.<\/p>\n

Inspired from a Sicilian salad<\/h2>\n

The inspiration for this salad comes from our recent trip to Sicily, where we enjoyed an antipasto hors d\u2019oeuvre platter at Fratelli Burgio which featured all sorts of smoked fish. And one of the delights was a smoked salmon and orange dish with fresh herbs. The combination of smoked salmon and segments of sweet navel orange was an unlikely one for me, but and fantastic discovery. The two go so very, very well together! Which is what inspired me to go beyond just those two ingredients and create the most delicious salad.<\/p>\n

Ways to adapt this salad with smoked salmon<\/h2>\n

I simply love this salad as it is but you could I do have a few ideas on how it could be adapted. I\u2019m pretty sure sliced avocado would be a great addition. You could also choose to add some pomegranate arils for a pop of color and sweet-tart flavor. Pine nuts could be traded out for toasted slivered almond. And rather than serving the salmon-orange mix over arugula you could choose a bed of purslane or lamb’s lettuce. Finally, if you are looking for a little extra freshness you could add thin slices of cucumber and maybe sweet cherry tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Choosing smoked salmon<\/h2>\n

For this type of salad, I like to use wild smoked salmon from my local fish monger. Most important is that it is sustainably sourced and a quality product. When wild isn\u2019t available, I buy farmed salmon, however choose organic. And, in the case of supermarket products, look for the MSC label<\/a> which indicates it\u2019s a sustainably sourced product.<\/p>\n
