Description
This vibrant salad features hot-smoked swordfish served over a bed of fresh spinach, butter lettuce, and cherry tomatoes.

Directions
-
Remove and discard the outer leaves and tear the inner leaves into bite-sized pieces.
-
Prepare a smoker for hot smoking by soaking and then igniting 3 large hardwood chunks, and regulating the temperature so that it will remain between 240 and 250F (121C).
-
Smoke the fish for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the flesh is flaky and cooked through.
-
Shred the flesh and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
In a blender,
-
combine the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, avocado, and olive oil and
-
blend for 1 minute, until completely smooth and emulsified.
-
Transfer to a glass bowl, stir in the green onions, and taste for seasoning.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
-
When ready to serve, drain the onion slices, pat them dry, and separate them into rings.
-
In a large mixing bowl, toss the spinach, lettuce, and tomatoes, together gently.
-
Pour on enough dressing to coat, and toss again just to mix.
-
Place a mound of the salad on each of 6 plates and scatter about 2 ounces of the shredded swordfish over the salad.
-
Drape a few onion rings over the top and serve
