Smoked Salmon Salad

Course Antipasto
Cuisine Italian
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2

Equipment

  • Small plastic or glass container preferably with a lid

Ingredients

  • Rocket Salad
  • Smoked Salmon 3 fresh slices
  • Pitted Black Olives
  • 1 bunch Fresh parsley Medium size. Chopped finely
  • Lemon Juice or fresh lemon
  • Extra virgin olive oil EVOO
  • Table salt

Instructions

  • Get your container and pour a small amount of extra virgin olive oil into this so there is a thin layer covering the bottom. This is where you will be able to marinate your salmon dish and allow it to rest.
  • Now, place one slice of salmon inside, keeping it to one side where possible.
  • Then, place another piece of salmon next to this, in the opposite direction ensuring it is also on top of the oil.
  • Pour another dash of extra virgin olive oil over the top (but not too much!), and sprinkle a serve of chopped parsley on top of the salmon.
  • Then, squeeze a generous amount of lemon juice over the top of this layer ensuring it will be able to soak up the flavour.
  • Next place the third piece of salmon on top, add a small amount of extra virgin olive oil, some more chopped parsley and of course (my favourite) some more lemon juice!
  • Now, you should be able to smell the parsley and lemon dancing with the salmon in your container.
  • Seal the container and then place it in the fridge. This will give your salmon time to drown in the flavours and will bring out the best of your salmon.
  • Leave in the fridge for 2 hours, (you can also prepare this the day before and the flavours will intensify even more), or at the very least, half an hour.
  • Now, time to prepare the salad.
  • Place the freshly washed rocket into a bowl and add a pinch of table salt, a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and some balsamic vinegar.
  • The best way to mix your salad is with your hands, tossing it to ensure it is evenly dressed.
  • Next, time for the secret ingredient, black pitted olives! Cut each olive in half, then in half again then into small pieces.
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
