Salmon, Snap Peas and New Potatoes with Mustard Vinaigrette

Recipe Brought to you by FoodFit

This recipe serves: 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

For the mustard vinaigrette:
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
2 tablespoons fresh chives
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

For the snap peas and potatoes:
3/4 pound sugar snap or snow peas
3/4 pound small, new potatoes, quartered

For the grilled salmon:
4 salmon fillets, about 4 to 6 ounces each
2 cups spring greens, such as watercress or arugula

Cooking For the mustard vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the
mustard, lemon juice and vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and
vegetable broth. Stir in the shallots and chives. Season with salt and
pepper.
For the snap peas and new potatoes: Put the potatoes and peas in a large
steamer. Set the steamer over simmering water and cook, covered, until the
potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes. While the vegetables are still hot,
toss them with a few tablespoons of the mustard vinaigrette. Set aside at
room temperature while you cook the salmon, or refrigerate for longer
storage.

For the salmon: Brush the salmon fillets with some of the mustard
vinaigrette and generously season with salt and pepper. Spray a grill
grate with non-stick cooking spray and preheat the grill. Place the salmon
on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Thicker fillets may
need to be finished in a 350 F oven for about 5 minutes. To serve, divide
the steamed peas, potatoes (these should be served at room temperature)
and greens among 4 plates. Place a grilled fillet of salmon on each plate
alongside the vegetables. Drizzle a little of the remaining vinaigrette on
each plate.
