Diners will marvel at these charming pinwheels
-- they look like they require more effort than they actually
do.
Salmon Pinwheel Salad
1 1/2 pounds fresh or frozen skinless salmon
fillet, 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine or water
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups torn curly endive
4 cups torn red-tipped leaf lettuce
2 medium oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Fresh Orange Dressing (see recipe below)
- Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat
dry with paper towels. Cut lengthwise into 6 even strips. Sprinkle
lightly with salt and black pepper. Starting with the thick end
of each strip, roll up into a pinwheel. Secure with a wooden
toothpick or skewer.
- In a medium skillet combine white wine,
bay leaf, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring to boiling. Add fish pinwheels. Return to boiling; reduce
heat. Simmer, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until fish flakes
easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Using a slotted
spoon, remove fish from cooking liquid. Cover and chill for 2
to 12 hours. Discard cooking liquid.
- To serve, divide the endive, leaf lettuce,
orange sections, cucumber slices, and almonds among six dinner
plates. Spoon the Fresh Orange Dressing over lettuce mixture.
Top with the fish pinwheels.
Makes 6 servings.

to make a dressing of desired consistency. Makes about 1/2 cup.
