Ingredients

Servings:

1 piece salmon fillet
1 bowl chopped curly lettuce
1 bowl finely chopped raw cauliflower
2 bunch green onion
1 handful goji berry
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
0.5 piece orange zest
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
0.5 dessert spoon salt

Step-by-Step Preparation

Speed:1x

First, let the goji berries soak in a small bowl of warm water for approximately 10 minutes to soften.

Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and lightly season both sides with salt. Place a non-stick pan on the stove, heat it well, and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and cook for approximately 4 minutes until the skin is completely crispy. Then, flip it over and cook for 2-3 more minutes so that the inside remains juicy, then remove from the heat and let it cool.

Remove the skin from the cooled salmon and shred the meat into large pieces using a fork. During this time, completely remove any small bones if present.

To prepare the salad dressing, mix the remaining extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, grated orange zest, and salt in a deep bowl with a whisk until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Wash and dry the curly lettuce thoroughly, then chop into medium-sized pieces. Chop the raw cauliflower into as small, tiny florets as possible with a knife so that it does not create a hard texture in the salad. Thinly slice the green onions into rings.

Spread the chopped lettuce on the bottom of a wide serving bowl. Add the sliced green onions and tiny cauliflower florets on top. Drain the water from the softened goji berries and add them to the salad. Place the shredded salmon pieces on top and serve by drizzling the prepared mustard and orange dressing over it.

Chef's Tips

To prevent the salmon from drying out while cooking, searing it over high heat to ensure the inside remains slightly pink and moist will double the flavor.
Finely chopping the raw cauliflower florets allows them to mix homogeneously with the salad greens, preventing hard pieces from reaching the mouth.
Soaking the goji berries in lukewarm water softens their dry textures, allowing them to achieve a juicier and tastier form in the salad.

Alternative & Optional Ingredients

In cases where you cannot find goji berries, you can choose dried cranberries or raisins in the same amount.
Very finely chopped raw broccoli florets would also suit this salad very well instead of cauliflower.
Instead of searing in a pan, you can also add the salmon to your salad by cooking it in the oven or on a grill.

Gourmet Recommendations

You can add a crunchy texture to the plate by adding lightly roasted slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds just before serving the salad.
For a more refreshing aroma, you can also add a very small amount of freshly squeezed orange juice to the dressing.
