Salmon and Blueberry Salad with
Red Onion Vinaigrette
1 medium-sized red onion, thinly sliced into half-rings
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp ground black pepper, divided
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 1/2 lb salmon fillet, cut cross-wise into 4 portions
6 cups lettuce leaves in bite-sized pieces
1 cup fresh blueberries
1. In a microwaveable cup combine onion, vinegar, sugar and half each of the salt
and pepper, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Let stand, stirring occasionally, until onions turn pink, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat grill or broiler. Brush 1 tbsp of the olive oil on both sides of
the salmon fillets; sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Grill or broil,
skin side down, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes.
3. Divide lettuce leaves among 4 dinner plates; place salmon in the center.
With a slotted spoon, remove onions from vinegar and scatter, along with the
blueberries, over and around the fish.
4. Whisk remaining olive oil into the vinegar mixture; drizzle over salmon.
