Ingredients:
- 1 piece (450 g) skinless wild salmon fillet (center part)
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 tsp grated lemon zest + juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- Half a shallot, chopped
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 0.5 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- Vegetable oil for greasing
- 2 heads romaine lettuce, halved lengthwise
- 2 avocados, halved lengthwise, pitted and peeled
- 2 ears of corn, husked
- 1 cup fresh basil, torn
- 0.5 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Drain and run the eggs under cold water to cool. Peel and slice.
- Meanwhile, drizzle the fish with the juice of half a lemon and season generously with salt and black pepper; let sit for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the dressingIn a small bowl, combine the juice of the remaining lemon half with the lemon zest, vinegar, shallot, and tarragon; whisk. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Brush the grill grate with vegetable oil. Lightly brush the romaine lettuce, avocado, and corn with vegetable oil. Grill the vegetables, turning, until crisply charred, about 2 minutes for the lettuce and avocado and 5-6 minutes for the corn; transfer to a cutting board. Meanwhile, grill the fish, turning once, until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Chop the salad into large chunks, discarding the core; transfer to a large platter. Add basil and dill and toss. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and slice the avocado and fish. Arrange the corn, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, salmon chunks, and avocado in rows on top of the salad; season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the salad with dressing and sprinkle with parsley.
