• 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.
