HONEY-MUSTARD GLAZED SALMON WITH ENDIVE AND GREEN APPLE SALAD
3 tablespoons Dijon
mustard 2 tablespoons honey Juice of ½ a lemon Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets, preferably center cut ½ teaspoon freshly
ground black pepper 1 medium Belgian endive
(about 1 pound) ½ large Granny Smith
apple, cored About 20 fresh chives (2 tablespoons finely chopped) 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven (five or six inches from the broiler); preheat to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Whisk together the mustard, honey and a ½ teaspoon of the lemon juice in a small bowl.
Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin sides down, then use half the pepper to season each one. Drizzle a tablespoon of the honey mustard sauce on top of each fillet. Roast (upper rack) for 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
Increase the oven temperature to broil; broil for a minute or two, just until the fillets are lightly browned. Watch them closely to avoid overcooking.
Meanwhile, pour the remaining lemon juice into a medium bowl. Cut the endive crosswise into half-inch pieces and add to the bowl, discarding the endive’s tough ends. Toss to coat.
Cut the apple into thin wedges, then cut the wedges into half-inch pieces; add to the bowl and toss to coat.
Cut the chives into half-inch pieces, then add to the bowl along with the oil, salt and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of pepper, tossing to incorporate.
Divide the salad among individual plates, then top each portion with a salmon fillet. Serve warm or at room temperature. Adapted from “Weeknight Wonders: Delicious, Healthy Dinners in 30 Minutes or Less,” by Ellie Krieger (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013).
