  • ¼ cup stone ground mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ​​ smoked paprika (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Raw Zucchini and Summer Squash Salad

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced or small diced

  • ¼ cup ​ thinly sliced green onions

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil.

  5. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, squash, tomatoes, and green onions until evenly distributed.

  6. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and top with the zucchini salad. Garnish with pea tendrils and pine nuts, if using, and serve.
