FLAKED SALMON, EDAMAME & SHAVED JICAMA SALAD

FLAKED SALMON, EDAMAME & SHAVED JICAMA SALAD.

This is easy spin on a salad with out the pasta.  I really like using Salmon for salads.


INGREDIENTS:
1 Salmon Steak
1/2 cup of Edamame beans podded.
1/2 lose cup of shaved Jicama (Use a hand held veggi peeler.)
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise  Less or more as you desire.
1 Tablespoon capers
1 Two tables spoon diced white onion.
Serve on a small bed of fresh greens.

METHOD OF PREPARATION:
FIRST: COOKING THE SALMON
Put the Salmon steak skin down in the pan.  Turn the pan to low and cover with a lid that fits.  Keep your eye on the color of the salmon. At first it will be bright reddish pink, and as it cooks it will turn into a lighter pink.  Also watch for white drops of fat to appear on the out side of the salmon as it cooks.
Next: Now if your looking at your salmon that is cooking and it appears to be done on the out side, it may not be done on the inside. Turn off the burner and take off the lid. Take two forks and very carefully pull the salmon apart and look in.  Try to pull it apart by the grain.  If you see dark red inside, it still need to cook more. Put in back on the burner on low to finish cooking.
 If it is done, then when you take the forks and pull the salmon apart gently it will flake apart really easily, and it should all be the same even light pink, no dark pink.
When the salmon is all the way done take a metal spatula and scoop the whole salmon up off the skin that will be stuck to the pan.   Put the salmon on a plate and let cool a bit then remove all the bones and then flake apart.

SECOND: SHAVE & MIX.

Shave the Jicama,with a veggi peeler and flake the salmon and  mix all the ingredient togetheir.  Done!      This salad goes great with Mandarin Pancakes.
