"I came up with this recipe because we were looking for things to do with salmon," said Chef Hassan Gooden of Fancy's on Fifth, a popular Avondale restaurant. "I love Asian flavors, so I wanted to use soy and brown sugar and capture that. I added sugar to balance the bitterness and salt."
"I use raw, marinated salmon on this salad. To do this, buy the freshest fish possible. However, if you’re squeamish about raw salmon, you can grill or pan-sear the marinated salmon instead," he added.
Marinade for salmon:
2 ounces soy sauce
4 ounces Worcestershire sauce
2 smashed garlic cloves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
5 ounces of salmon, thinly sliced
Salmon needs to marinate 5-10 minutes.
Salad
2 cups arugula
1 cup mixed spicy greens
1 carrot, shaved
3 radishes, thinly sliced
cilantro leaves, picked
Add oil and vinegar to taste as a simple dressing so the salmon shines.
Serves two.
