Preparation:
Make the Vinaigrette:
- Make your vinaigrette by combining all ingredients to a mason jar or dressing bottle and vigorously shake until blended.
To make the Salad:
- Preheat oven to 425° degrees. Foil-line a baking sheet and add capers & leeks. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Capers should be crackling & crispy, and leeks should be browned. Set aside.
- While capers and leeks are baking, fill a small pot with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add asparagus and blanch for 2 minutes. Strain & rinse asparagus with cold water and also set aside.
- On a serving platter of your choice, assemble the salad by layering the frisée, then adding the leeks, asparagus, and artichokes. Gently flake the Blue Harbor Fish Co.® Wild Pink Salmon, No Salt Added chunks on top of the salad, and garnish with capers and pickled red onions.
- Drizzle salad with the vinaigrette and enjoy!
