Salmon and wild rice salad

Chef, Lenny Redé
Wine Pairings:  

Pinot Noir complements the richness of smoked salmon

This salad is a perfect addition to any buffet table or Thanksgiving spread. If you want an easy yet elegant dish to bring to your next potluck look no further. The wild rice’s natural smokey flavor is only enhanced when paired with smoked salmon, a simple vinaigrette and fresh fennel to accentuate the aromatics. Pair this with a nice Pinot Noir and you’re all set. The bright red fruit, earth and herbs of Pinot Noir complement the richness of the smoked salmon and the fennel notes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 each red pepper diced
  • 1 bulb fennel, finely diced
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces hot smoked salmon, skin removed and shredded.
  • Salt to taste

Steps

1.

In a medium pot, bring water to boil. Add the wild rice and salt, bring to simmer and cover. Cook until the rice is tender, and grains split, about 45 – 55 minutes. Transfer rice to a mesh strainer and let drain.

2.

In a large bowl combine lemon juice and zest, vinegar, olive oil, honey, mustard, black pepper, and tarragon. Add the cooled rice and toss to coat.

3.

Add the diced peppers, fennel, scallions, parsley, and shredded salmon toss to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve cold or at room temperature.
