    Advertisement

  • Toss root vegetables in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. Stir and continue roasting until soft and golden brown in spots, 13 to 15 minutes more.

  • Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, anchovy and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and salt in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing in small bowl. Add the salad greens to the large bowl and toss to combine; divide among 4 dinner plates.

  • When the vegetables are done, transfer them to the large bowl and gently combine with the reserved dressing, salmon and scallions. Top the greens with the salmon and vegetables.

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the dressing (Step 3), cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.

This dish is a real knockout! It positively DEMANDED a glass of wine and the French bread and I opened the bottle even though my spouse didn't make it home for dinner. Yes fresh salmon would be even better. However I was surprised at the amount of time I spent on it & adding the salmon prep would seriously put it over the top. My general idea is to make the dressing ahead.... Read More

The dressing is very good! I accidentally bought fresh salmon instead of the canned so I grilled 6 ounces of the fresh salmon skinned it and flaked it. We loved it! Will make again for sure. Read More

Poached salmon instead of canned because that's what I had. The family members who could afford the fat and calories had creme freche on top and agreed it was an amazing addition! But all on its own this was wonderful. Great dressing. Used carrot parsnip baby potatoes. After the first 15 min added pre-cooked packaged beets which I'd cubed. That all worked well. Read More

Exquisute This dish was amazing! I subbed capers and a little rosemary for the mustard and anchovies as my dining companion doesn't like them and the flavors were still amazing. Also used fresh salmon roasted with garlic lemon and rosemary. Add garlic bread and wine...viola! Prep time was a little long but well worth it for a tasteful satisfying and hearty dinner main dish salad. Will be making again!!! Read More
