Ingredients

Shallot-Thyme Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Salad

  • 1 lb marlin, swordfish or tuna steaks, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
  • 12 uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, cut crosswise into 6 slices
  • 10 leaves romaine lettuce, coarsely shredded
  • 1 small bunch arugula, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 12 kalamata or pitted ripe olives

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, mix all vinaigrette ingredients until well blended.
  • 2
    In shallow glass or plastic bowl, place fish steaks, shrimp and 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette; turn fish and shrimp to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Reserve remaining vinaigrette.
  • 3
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove fish and shrimp from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill fish and fennel over medium heat 5 minutes; brush with marinade. Add shrimp.
  • 4
    Cover and grill 5 to 15 minutes, turning and brushing fish, fennel and shrimp with marinade 2 or 3 times, until shrimp are pink and firm, fish flakes easily with fork and fennel is tender. Discard any remaining marinade.
  • 5
    Arrange romaine and arugula on serving platter. Cut fish into bite-size pieces. Arrange fish, shrimp, fennel and remaining ingredients on romaine mixture. Serve with remaining vinaigrette.

  • Shallots are prized for being milder than their onion cousin; however, they can be used for flavoring in the same manner as onions.
  • The night before you plan to serve, make the vinaigrette, then wash and dry the romaine and arugula. Refrigerate until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
  • For a change of pace from artichokes, cut 5 to 6 stalks canned hearts of palm, drained, into 1-inch pieces. You'll find this Brazilian import along with the artichokes in the canned vegetables section of the supermarket.
