Maple syrup and Dijon mustard are the secret to fabulously flavored salmon and asparagus salad. Bring the flavors of the sea and earth to the table with this fabulous entrée! From eatbetteramerica.
Prep Time:30 min
Start to Finish:30 min
makes:4 servings
Maple-Dijon Dressing
1/3cup maple-flavored syrup
2tablespoons Dijon mustard
1tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
Salad
1lb salmon fillet (1/2 inch thick)
1lb fresh asparagus spears
4cups baby salad greens
1cup shredded carrots (about 1 1/2 medium)
1hard-cooked egg, cut into 8 wedges
Freshly ground black pepper, if desired
1.Heat gas or charcoal grill.
2.In small bowl, mix all Maple-Dijon Dressing ingredients with wire whisk.
3.Cut salmon crosswise into 4 pieces. Brush salmon with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. In large bowl, toss asparagus and 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Place asparagus in grill basket (grill “wok”).
4.When grill is heated, place asparagus and salmon, skin side down, on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook asparagus 7 to 10 minutes and salmon 10 to 15 minutes, shaking grill basket or turning asparagus occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender and salmon flakes easily with fork.

This was really good. The only "baby salad greens" I could find was a bag of baby spinach. My family likes that, so it turned out great! It did seem like there was a lot of dressing, though. That may have been user error.

The marinade, also the salad dressing, is delicious! My boyfriend is not a big fan of salmon, but after trying this, he keeps asking me to make it more! Super good meal
