Grilled Salmon with Citrus Salsa and Baby Greens
It’s easier than you think to prepare a salad at home that you’d gladly pay for in a restaurant: you just need a few special ingredients that you can easily pick up at your grocery store. In this case, start with tender baby lettuces, see-through thin slices of fresh fennel and grilled fresh salmon fillets. Then top with this citrusy salsa, which gets a sweet and salty accent from seasoned rice-wine vinegar, found with other Asian condiments from your grocery store. It’s as simple as that. Restaurant quality, no tipping required.
