Granny's Salad Salmon Wrapped In Grape Leaves
Salad: Salmon Wrapped in Grape Leaves Served
Yield: 4 Servings
4 4 oz salmon fillets
6 Grape leaves, rinsed and
Stems removed
1 lb Wild greens
1/4 c Pine nuts
1/3 c Raisins
1/2 bn Fresh coriander (cilantro),
Chopped
1 c Evoo
1 c Charmoula vinaigrette
(recipe follows)
Wrap each salmon fillet with one to two leaves around
the middle (fish will not be completely covered). In
a saucepan, plump raisins in just enough hot water to
cover raisins. (Can use chicken stock or alcohol to
reconstitute the raisins.) Using a food processor,
puree raisins with 3/4 cup of olive oil. Add
remaining liquid used for soaking the raisins to thin
the puree. Stir in chopped coriander until well mixed.
Heat grill or broiler. Brush salmon with remaining
olive oil and season both sides with freshly ground
pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until
salmon is firm, but still moist. Divide greens
equally on four plates and top with salmon. Drizzle
raisin puree around plate and dress greens with
charmoula vinaigrette. Garnish with pine nuts.

dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and
pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp
stick called truth.
