Ingredients

  • 4 whole oranges
  • 2 whole limes
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 8 cups mixed lettuce
  • ½ whole cucumber
  • 7 ounces sushi-grade salmon

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Grate the zest of 1 orange and the lime into a large bowl. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of juice from the grated orange and 2 tablespoons of juice from the grated lime into the bowl (you may need a second lime to get the 2 tablespoons of juice). Whisk in the soy sauce and the oil. Set the dressing aside.

  2. 2.

    Use a sharp knife to slice the rind and pith from the remaining oranges. Working over a mixing bowl, cut between the membranes to free the orange segments, letting them drop into the bowl. Pour any juice into a cup and reserve it for another use. Add the mâche, frisée, and cucumbers, if using, to the orange segments. Using a large sharp knife, cut the salmon into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Add the salmon to the bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, and toss gently to coat. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 2 minutes.
