Title: | Wild Salmon Havarti Caesar Salad |
Detail: | Recipe courtesy ASMI Serves: 4 Prep Time: 10 Ingredients: 4 Wild Alaskan Salmon steaks or fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen 2 Tablespoons olive, canola, peanut or grapeseed oil Seafood seasoning, to taste 4 Havarti cheese deli slices (approximately 2 oz. each) 2 light Caesar salad kits (7 to 8 oz. each) Fresh dill, for garnish Directions: Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Wild Salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of salmon with oil. Place salmon in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking. Turn salmon over and sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 3 to 6 minutes for frozen salmon OR 1 to 2 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is nearly opaque throughout. Add Havarti slices to top of salmon portions; cover. Turn heat to low and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese begins to melt. Remove from heat; keep warm. Prepare Caesar salad according to package directions. Portion salad onto 4 serving plates. Top each salad with salmon fillet; garnish with dill. Variation: Substitute Pepper Jack cheese for Havarti cheese slices.
