"Here is a simple recipe using fresh tuna or salmon. The fish can be either poached or broiled. This salad makes a lovely presentation at a luncheon or dinner party."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb fresh tuna filets (or salmon filets)
• 1 head lettuce (or greens assortement)

• Vinagrette Dressing with plum tomatoes

• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tablespoons vinegar, red wine
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 plum tomatoes, halved
• 1⁄2 cup scallion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

directions

1. Make vinagrette by mixing all ingredients well. Set aside.
2. POACHED FISH: In a medium skillet, bring 1-2 quarts water to simmer. Cut fish into 1" cubes and drop into water. Simmer 1-2 minutes. Drain carefully and allow to cool.
3. BROILED FISH: Cut fish into 1" cubes and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray fish with butter flavored cooking spray if desired and sprinkle with lemon seasoning (such as Greek seasoning blend or Mrs. Dash). Broil 1-2 minutes watching so as not to burn. Remove from broiler and allow to cool.
4. Arrange salad greens onto a serving platter or individual salad plates. Carefully place the fish onto the greens. Gently spoon the vinagrette over top and serve.

I really liked this. I moved the tomatoes up and out of the vinaigrette so that I could whisk the vinaigrette together. I grilled the tuna, although I fantasized about serving it raw, my fish monger said, "no", to flash fry it on both sides. I also didn't try the boil method. I will add black olives the next time.
