Description

Salmon fillets broiled with an orange zest and balsamic vinaigrette glaze are served atop spring salad mix, asparagus, and fennel bulb.

Ingredients

3/4 cup Marie's® Balsamic Vinaigrette, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)
1 large navel orange
4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
Sea salt to taste
1 (5 ounce) package spring salad greens
1 pound slender asparagus - lightly steamed, chilled, and cut on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces
1 small fennel bulb, stalks and core removed, thinly sliced
1 (3 ounce) package shaved Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Combine 1/4 cup Marie's Balsamic Vinaigrette, pepper, honey, and orange liqueur to make glaze. Zest orange and add to the glaze.
2 Slice peel off orange, removing all of white pith. Slice oranges into rounds, then into quarters. Reserve.
3 Preheat the oven's broiler. Cover a broiler pan with nonstick foil. Sprinkle salmon with salt. Broil salmon, brushing often with glaze until cooked, about 8 minutes. Do not turn.
4 Toss spring mix with asparagus, fennel, and remaining 1/2 cup Marie's Balsamic Vinaigrette. Divide among 4 plates and top with salmon. Garnish salads with orange pieces and Parmesan.
