Culinate editor’s note: This recipe is designed for sharing in a dinner co-op. If you’re not cooking for 12, decrease the amounts proportionately, and adjust the final step, placing the greens and salmon directly on plates.
Introduction
Here’s a light and healthy meal with some serious visual impact. Your lucky receivers will open up the lid to a jubilant explosion of color and flavor — bright orange salmon and a rainbow relish of strawberries, tarragon, and bell peppers. All the tastes of summer are gorgeous to behold.
Ingredients
Strawberry Relish
| 1½ | pt. strawberries, diced |
| 1½ | yellow bell peppers, diced |
| 4 | green onions, green and white parts, sliced |
| 3 | Tbsp. fresh tarragon, minced |
| ⅓ | cup maple syrup |
| ~ | Salt and pepper to taste |
Salmon

| 2 | Tbsp. olive oil |

Garnish suggestion
Steps
- Strawberry relish: Combine and mix well in a medium bowl. Allow to rest at room temperature 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Salmon: Preheat grill to 450 degrees or preheat broiler.
- Brush each fillet with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil fillets with the skin side down (if it has skin) just until flesh begins to flake.
- Place one handful of greens in the bottom of each serving dish. Divide the portions of salmon and place them on top of greens. Spoon the relish over the salmon.
