Warm Salmon Salad Niçoise
You’ll love this “Warm Salmon Salad Niçoise” version of a traditional Niçoise. It uses capers instead of the usual olives and asparagus, which happened to look a lot better than the green beans at the market that week. With lots of herbs, a tangy herbed lemon caper vinaigrette, and a warm, crispy seared salmon instead of the usual canned tuna, you just can’t beat this for a healthy, satisfying dinner!
