Salad with red fish and arugula - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute red fish with salmon, trout, or even canned tuna for a budget-friendly option. Just ensure the fish is cooked and flaked if needed.
Replace the fish with grilled halloumi, chickpeas, or avocado for a protein-rich vegetarian alternative. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Assemble the salad without dressing and nuts until serving to keep textures fresh. Store dressed salad for up to 12 hours, though arugula may wilt slightly.
Parmesan or pecorino add salty depth, but feta or goat cheese also pair well with the flavors. Use dairy-free alternatives if needed.
Skip the sugar in the dressing and reduce cherry tomatoes. Add more arugula and protein like extra fish or nuts for satiety.
Walnuts, pecans, or sliced almonds offer similar crunch. Toasting them enhances flavor—just avoid salted varieties to control seasoning.
Freezing isn’t recommended as fresh greens and fish will lose texture. Prep components (dressing, nuts) separately instead.
