How to Make Olivia Wilde's Salmon Salad

Ingredients

  1. For the salmon and vegetables:
    60ml olive oil, plus more for drizzling
    4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    3 sprigs dill, chopped
    1 shallot, 1/2 finely chopped and 1/2 thinly sliced
    1 lemon, 1/2 juiced and 1/2 thinly sliced
    Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
    Pinch of smoked paprika
    1 small potato (Olivia Wilde [2] used Russet), peeled and thinly sliced
    1/2 courgette, thinly sliced into coins
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    340g skinless salmon fillet
  1. For the salad and dressing:
    2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon honey
    Pinch of kosher salt
    1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    2-4 tablespoons olive oil
    A few handfuls mixed greens, arugula, or lettuce
    2 tablespoons kalamata olives, pitted
    2 tablespoons crumbled feta
    1/4 cucumber, sliced into 1/4-inch coins

Directions

For the salmon and vegetables:

  1. Preheat the oven to 205ÂșC.
  2. Combine the olive oil, garlic, dill, finely chopped shallot, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika in a small bowl or jar. Shake or stir to combine. Set aside.
  3. Fold a large piece of parchment paper in half to create a crease. Then unfold it and drizzle with a little olive oil.
  4. On one side of the parchment, layer the potatoes, courgette, and sliced shallots, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper.
  5. Place the salmon on top of the bed of veggies. Drizzle with about half of the lemon dressing (reserve the rest for serving), making sure to include the garlic and spices as you drizzle.
  6. Lay the lemon slices on top of the salmon. Fold the parchment over the salmon and fold the edges to seal in all the ingredients.
  7. Place the pouch on a sheet pan and bake until the salmon is just cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

For the salad and dressing:

  1. Add the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and garlic to a small bowl and mix to combine. In a slow steady stream, add 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, stirring as you go to emulsify.

To serve:

  1. Add the greens to a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Top with the kalamata olives, feta, and cucumber.
  2. Unwrap the parchment and transfer the salmon and vegetables to the top of the salad. Serve with the reserved lemon dressing on the side.
