Grilled Salmon with Cucumber Salad

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon, plus a pinch freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large seedless cucumbers, thinly sliced
• 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skin-on wild salmon fillets
• 5 1⁄2 ounces baby arugula
• 1 Belgian endive, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

Directions

1. Combine the vinegar, caraway seeds, mustard seeds, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and stir to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the salmon.

2. Heat a well-seasoned stovetop grill pan or large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the flesh side of the salmon fillets with 1⁄4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Place the fillets, skin-side up, in the pan and cook until the flesh releases easily from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the salmon is just opaque throughout, about 4 more minutes.

3. While the salmon cooks, toss the arugula, endive, dill and oil with the cucumber mixture.

4. Divide the salad among four plates. Top each with a salmon fillet and garnish with the lemon zest, lemon juice and dill. Serve immediately.
