Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Roughly chop parsley leaves and stems. Halve, peel, and mince shallot until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4). Quarter lemon. Trim and peel carrot. Using a peeler, shave carrot lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you get to the core. Discard core. Halve grapes lengthwise.
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle all over with chopped parsley. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 2-3 minutes per side. (It’ll finish cooking in the next step.) • Transfer chicken to one side of a baking sheet. (For 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet.)
• Sprinkle Parmesan into two 3-inch-wide circles (four circles for 4 servings) on opposite side of sheet from chicken. (For 4, use a second baking sheet; bake chicken on top rack, frico on middle rack.) Bake on top rack until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and crispy at the edges, 5-7 minutes. • Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. • Let frico cool on sheet until crispy, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine shallot, juice from half the lemon, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. (For 4 servings, use juice from whole lemon and 2 tsp sugar.) Cover bowl with plastic wrap; microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside to cool for at least 30 seconds.
• To bowl with pickled shallot, add honey Dijon dressing, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt and pepper; whisk to combine. • In a medium bowl, toss mixed greens and carrot ribbons with half the sweet shallot dressing (save the rest for serving).
• Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Break frico into bite-size pieces. • Divide salad and chicken between plates. Drizzle remaining dressing over chicken. Top salad with grapes and frico. Serve.
Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The flavors paired perfectly! First time making such a decadent salad! Salmon portions were good. Very tasty! Designer salad, for sure! Will order again.
I prepped the salmon exactly as the instructions for chicken but did not pre-brown it. I poured a couple of teaspoons over the top of the salmon and baked it for 15 minutes. The salmon came out perfect. We both liked the salad dressing.
This one turned out great. A little hands on, but totally worth it
The salmon was delicious. The salad didn't really go well with salmon. Grapes and salmon together is weird. Would've worked with chicken but not salmon. The carrot ribbons were strange and a waste of two carrots. I like carrots but not like that. Finally, given the salad was the meal, it could've used more greens. The package was the same as when the salad is a side.
Really great flavor and super easy. Could use more greens for the salad though!
