Total Time:
20m
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin removed
- 1/2 small cucumber, cut into matchstick-size strips
- 8 leaves Bibb lettuce, thinly sliced
- 8 sprigs fresh mint, torn if large
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, whisk together the orange juice, sugar, mustard powder, ¼ cup of the vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with ¼ teaspoon of the pepper.
- Heat broiler. Arrange the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Brush generously with the glaze.
- Broil until the salmon flakes easily when pricked with a fork and is the same color throughout, about 5 minutes, basting once with remaining glaze.
- Place the cucumber, lettuce, mint, and orange in a bowl. Drizzle with oil and the remaining vinegar, salt, and pepper and toss. Serve with the salmon.

Quick Tip
For a buttery taste and a supple texture, use the tender inner leaves of the lettuce, not the tough outer ones.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
