Smoked Catfish Salad

 

 

 

Something totally unexpected brought a traditional Southern fish and European Ingredients together with fresh micro greens.

I had some smoked catfish on  and  with a bunch of mixed baby greens that included baby arugula, baby spinach, red leaf lettuce and frisee. A dressing was created with creme fraiche, a dollop of mayonnaise,  fresh chopped dill , capers and just enough salt and pepper to taste.

I think this salad turned out exceptionally well.
