Salmon Nicoise Salad

Delicious Mediterranean Salmon Niçoise Salad

Here on Viva La Food, we don’t have many salad recipes, but we’re about to change that. Today we prepared for you one of our favorite – Salmon Niçoise Salad. Instead of traditional canned or seared tuna, we used juicy roasted salmon, and it tastes absolutely fantastic! Because the salmon is a star of this dish. The main secret is to cook the fish to that perfect point when it’s cooked trough but still has that luscious texture. Usually, that happens 5 minutes before most people decide to remove it from the oven. Unfortunately, majority of people tend to overcook the salmon horribly, but no worries we got you covered. We wrote an instruction for you, and this time your salmon well be excellent.
