Инструкции
- Make the Basil Oil: Combine basil, oil, and salt in a blender. Process till smooth; transfer to a glass jar. (Makes 2/3 c.)
- In the basin of a large outdoor grill, build a fire using charcoal briquettes. Allow the coals to turn gray and ashy; add in the wood chips, and wait for the chips to smoke. Season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper and a healthy pinch of sugar. Arrange fillets, flat-sides down, on grill; cover. Smoke till fillets turn opaque and have almost cooked through, 15 to 20 min. Using a spatula, remove fillets from grill, and set aside.
- Fill a large stockpot with cool salted water; add in potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer till potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 25 min. Drain, and let cold sufficient to handle. Cut large potatoes in half; set aside.
- Bring two medium pots of salted water to a boil; have ready an ice bath. Blanch asparagus and peas separately till bright green and tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Plunge into ice-water bath; drain. Cut asparagus into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Place potatoes, asparagus, and peas in a large bowl.
- Place lemon juice in a bowl. Whisk in basil oil, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle three-fourths of dressing over salad; toss well. Arrange watercress on serving plates. Place the potato salad and smoked-salmon fillets over watercress. Drizzle with remaining basil oil, and serve immediately.
- Serves 8.
