  • Total Time

    About 1 1/2 hours, plus time to heat the grill

This is a great salad to make when you have leftover grilled salmon.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

1/2 pound salmon steak (leftover grilled salmon is fine)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons if using raw fish, plus more to taste if necessary
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
more extra-virgin olive oil to taste if necessary
Several sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, if using raw fish
1 red or yellow bell pepper
Juice of 1 large lemon, plus more to taste if necessary
3 cups cooked or canned white beans, drained
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup diced shallots
12 to 15 good black or green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
freshly ground black pepper
4 cups torn assorted salad greens (trimmed, washed and dried)
  1. Step 1

    If you are starting with raw salmon, start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source. Marinate the fish in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the thyme.

    Step 2

    When the fire is ready — it should be quite hot — grill the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side. At the same time, grill the red pepper. Cool, peel and seed it, then cut into strips.

    Step 3

    Cool the fish, then cut it into small cubes and toss it with the lemon juice, beans, and remaining olive oil while you prepare the other ingredients. Add the tomatoes, shallots, olives, and herbs to the salmon. Taste for salt and pepper and correct the balance between olive oil and lemon juice if necessary. Serve on a bed of greens, topped with the strips of grilled red pepper.

  • I followed this exactly except that I used salmon filets that had been slow baked (with olive oil and thyme) rather than grilled salmon. I tried it with just the lemon juice dressing and really liked it, but because I like more acidity I added a little balsamic as well, and that was even better. I agree that it's not a beautiful salad, but tasty enough to make up for its bad looks, and very healthy. If half-fork ratings were possible, I'd give it 3 1/2 forks.

  • This was a quick & appealing summer dish. My family enjoyed the combination of fresh vegetables & fresh salmon. I served it over argula, which worked well. (Being a salad, the ingredients are combined; I don't understand a previous comment objecting to the appearance.) I will make this again w/ a couple of revisions: grill the salmon (my grill is down) & use a balsamic-based dressing to pop the flavor a bit more.

  • I was looking for a yummy way to use up grilled salmon leftoves, and VOILA! Tasted it before adding the fresh parsley, basil and olives and it was kinda so-so. The fresh herbs and the saltiness of the olives added zing and just enough flavour. Next time I am going to throw the tomatoes into my grill pan on the bbq and roast them until they are just starting to split and see how that goes.

  • I didn't follow this recipe exactly (never can!), but used it to inspire my own salad thrown together w/similar leftover ingredients: feta stuffed salmon roast, taboulleh salad, plain french lentils and rice. This was too dry, so I added a mixture of lemon juice, mustard, and cream cheese - that is what was at hand. Served over a bed of lettuce and w/ buttered toast. Made a great lunch - enjoyed by all except my little salmon hater.

  • 我试过几个倒数es from this site and, while I've enjoyed most of the dishes, never have I felt compelled to review them. That is until now. I absolutely loved this dish. It was scrumptious and satisfying, yet not too filling. Like most of the reviewers, I did alter the recipe somewhat. For example, I used lime juice instead of lemon juice. Also, in the absence of shallots, I used red onion. I also served it on a bed of greens with a little balsamic and garlic vinaigrette drizzled over the top. Absolutely delightful.

  • I made this wonderful salad to use grilled salmon that was too dry to reheat. Taking a hint from another reviewer, I adjusted the lemon juice and oil ratio, so I had twice as much lemon juice. I omitted the parsley but other than that followed the recipe. I made 1/4 and mixed the seafood and bean mixture in with the spring mix for a filling lunch salad. Healthy, zesty, and tangy, the salad will be in my weekly menu rotation while I have fresh herbs and leftover salmon.

  • I have been on a very rigid detox diet for the past week and today was my last day. I was soo happy to have chosen this recipe for lunch. I had all of the ingredients except tomatoes and basil. What I used instead was salsa fresca (from Whole Foods) and then also added mushrooms, celery and kalamata olives. The combo of flavors was excellent and refreshing. Lastly, to "beef" up the salad I added long grain brown Texmati rice. Definitley a filling meal.

  • We did like this, but did not love it. The dressing was definately lacking. We thought perhaps the roasted peppers could be pureed with the oil, lemon, and basil and this would make this dish alot richer in flavor.

  • TASTED BAD; LOOKED WORSE! For the first time in over 30 years, my husband could not bring himself to eat what I cooked for dinner!!!! He said (and I concur)that it looked like it had been eaten before. I used leftover grilled salmon and canned beans, and followed the directions exactly. When everything was tossed together and the seasonings(such that they were) adjusted, it became a big sticky gob. There was no real distinguishable taste except for the basil and olives. Yuk!

  • Thought this was a nice and fresh treat for summer. I made it with fresh salmon that my husband caught in Monterey.

  • This was a good salad but nothing special. I followed the recipe, yet I thought it was missing something.

  • I forgot to buy shallots, so I used green onions, only 2 cups (1 can) of canalini white beans, and it served 2 as a genrous main dish that was very tasty. I used good kalamanta olives, and a grilled red pepper.
