An easy to make, healthy and warm salad for the health-conscious,
concocted from salmon fillets, chunks of mango, red cherry tomatoes,
assorted salad greens, cucumber and scallions.
Salmon fillets are threaded into 4
wooden skewers, together with the whole red cherry tomatoes and half
the ripe mango chunks to make salmon kabobs, which are then brushed
and marinated with orange juice and soy sauce mixture before broiled
in the broiler. The salad greens, the reserved halved tomatoes, mango
chunks, the cucumber sticks, and scallions are served with the
broiled salmon kabobs, topped with salad dressing (made from low-fat
plain yogurt, soy sauce and finely grated orange rind).

Method :
-
Soak 4 wooden skewers in a bowl of cold
water for 30 minutes to prevent them burning during cooking. Cut half
the tomatoes in half and set aside.
-
Thread the salmon with the whole tomatoes
and half the mango chunks onto 4 kabob sticks. Mix the orange juice and
soy sauce together in a small bowl and brush over the kabobs. Let
marinate for 15 minutes, brushing with the remaining orange juice
mixture at least once more.
-
Arrange the salad greens on a serving
platter with the reserved halved tomatoes, mango chunks, the cucumber
sticks, and scallions.
-
Preheat the broiler to high and line the
broiler rack with foil. To make the dressing, mix the yogurt, soy
sauce, and grated orange rind together in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Place the salmon kabobs on the broiler rack, brush again with the
marinade, and broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked.
Turn the kabobs over halfway through cooking and brush with any
remaining marinade.
-
Divide the prepared salad among 4 plates,
top each with a kabob, and then drizzle with the dressing.
