Preparation
Step 1
How to make a salad with smoked pink salmon? First, prepare all the ingredients from the list. You can use any salad greens - Iceberg, romaine, butterhead, mâche, and so on.
Step 2
Wash the greens thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Tear the leaves into pieces, or cut into large chunks with a knife.
Step 3
Peel the onion and rinse it. I used red onion - it looks brighter and more appetizing in the finished dish and tastes milder than regular onion, making it ideal for vegetable mixes. White salad onion or shallot also work well. Slice the onion into thin half-rings or rings and add to a salad bowl.
Step 4
Wash and dry the tomatoes and cucumbers. Cut the vegetables however you like. I usually slice cucumbers into wedges, same as the tomatoes.
Step 5
Wash the avocado, cut it in half, and remove the pit. Peel it and cut into small cubes. Add to the bowl.
Step 6
Break hot-smoked red fish into small pieces with your hands and add as the top layer. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over it. (Any red fish works; I used salmon.)
Step 7
Add a ground pepper blend and salt to taste. If you like, add a little olive oil or refined vegetable oil. Avocado and smoked red fish are fatty on their own, so use oil sparingly. Finish by sprinkling with finely chopped fresh herbs. I used frozen herbs: a little dill and a mix of aromatic Provençal herbs.
