From: www.vitalchoice.com/recipe/alaskan-salmon-salad-monterey
This California-accented recipe seems perfect for a barbecue party on a warm, sultry, summer night!
The cool greens make a great setting for wild Alaskan salmon hot from a grill or broiler grate.
The walnuts add even more omega-3s to the salmon, while the fish, nuts, juice, chives, and the grapes abound in antioxidants.

Season with salt and pepper after turning. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
