This delicious Nicoise salad recipe uses sustainable wild salmon - New Day NW

tuna

🥗Healthier: canned salmon

💰Cheaper: canned mackerel

Canned mackerel is often less expensive and has a similar flavor profile.

hard-boiled eggs

🥗Healthier: avocado

💰Cheaper: tofu

Tofu provides a protein alternative for those avoiding eggs.

Heat a pan with a little oil.

Season the salmon with Dukes seasoning and place it in the pan.

Cook the salmon until it has a nice crust, flipping it halfway through.

In a bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar.

Add chopped red onion to the dressing mixture, followed by salt and black pepper.

Mix the dressing well, ensuring the sugar dissolves in the vinegar.

Add three-quarters of a cup of olive oil to the dressing and mix again until incorporated.

In a bowl, combine spring mix and chopped romaine lettuce.

Add 1.5 ladles of the dressing to the lettuce and mix with tongs.

Plate the lettuce mixture in a bowl as the base for the salad.

Place the cooked salmon on top of the lettuce.

Add blanched green beans around the plate, ensuring they still have a little crunch.

Slice hard-boiled eggs in half and place them on the side of the salad.

Add cherry tomatoes next to the eggs.

Garnish the salad with pickled onions and capers.
