Method

  1. Marinade: Mix the first 10 ingredients listed in a large flat dish to form the marinade. Remove the pin bones from the salmon and pierce the skin all over with a needle. Immerse the salmon in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Rinse the salmon with fresh water, dry well with kitchen towels.
  2. Salad: Separate the leaves of the brussel sprouts and blanch lightly in boiling water. Drain and toss together shaved fennel, cooked baby beet, shaved chioggia beet, grapefruit segments, walnuts, cherry tomatoes and a few small beet leaves.
  3. Walnut Vinaigrette: Whisk together 1 egg yolk, sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, walnut oil and extra virgin olive oil with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. To Serve: Plate salad. Separate salmon into pieces and position over salad. Drizzle with walnut vinaigrette and garnish with Flowerdale Farm microgreen lemon balm.
