Pan Seared Fresh Wild Salmon with fresh herbs on a bed of greens and blueberries with rice wine vinaigrette


OMG is this so good and simple.  This is what I did.

Cut wild salmon into whatever size pieces you desire.  I  went to my garden and picked the follow fresh herbs.
 Sweet basil, oregano, dill, savory, marjoram, thyme and rosemary.  I chopped them together and sprinkled them onto the salmon, with a little salt and pepper.

I heated my cast iron pan, then added a small amount of olive oil and put salmon skin side down into the pan.  I let it cook for about 3 minutes and flipped, cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes, until it is done to your liking.

For the greens, I used rice vinegar, herbs to your taste, a little salt and pepper,  garlic and onion powder and for sweetness I chopped in a little sweet herb from  my garden.  I used a little grape seed oil.  I find the grape seed oil gives it a lightness and does not interfere with the olive oil  used to sear salmon.

I had some blueberries in the frig and decided to add those to the greens, and WOW what a great idea!  I love the savory sweet combo and always add fruit to my salads these days. Add a little fetta cheese for a salty zip.  Try the salmon, you will love it.
