If you like the delicate flavors of smoked salmon, you’ll love this smoked salmon candy salad with grilled persimmons, arugula, and lemon maple vinaigrette. The marinade in this recipe produces a slightly sweet smoked salmon with a candy-like texture that’s similar to jerky… it’s finger-licking delicious! Chef Barbara Alexander from The Culinary Institute of America pairs the “salmon candy” with grilled permissions, but any seasonal fruit would work, including grilled plums, peaches, pears.
