Salmon Niçoise

Salmon Niçoise is a modern, elegant twist on the classic French Salade Niçoise, traditionally from Nice. It features a base of tender greens, often with blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and olives, but substitutes the classic canned tuna with a perfectly cooked salmon fillet. The dish is typically dressed with a bright, tangy vinaigrette.
