YIELD: 24 servings

Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups red onion, finely-chopped
3 cups dry white wine (or 11/2 cups each of lemon juice and water)
1 cup olive oil
18 medium yellow onions, sliced
4 Tbsps. orange peel, grated
2 Tbsps. lime peel, grated
9 cups orange juice
30 oz. mixed dark leafy salad greens (about 8 cups loosely-packed)
Fresh dill sprigs or Italian parsley for garnish, as needed

  1. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Portion red onion onto salmon filets and press on evenly with back of spoon.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet, add yellow onions, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until golden. Remove from heat and mix in orange and lime peels and orange juice. Cover and chill.

  4. TO SERVE: Portion greens onto plates. Top with salmon filets. Lift onions from liquid with slotted spoon or fork, and top salmon. Spoon juice from onions over salmon and lettuce. Garnish with dill or parsley, if desired.
