Pan-Seared Salmon with Pea Shoots and Watercress

In this perfect spring salad, salmon and its pan juices become a topping for a tangle of sprightly greens dressed with a tangy lemon vinaigrette. Pea shoots, the clippings from young pea plants, have a mild pealike flavor. Look for them at well-stocked grocery stores, farmers’ markets or Asian markets-—or substitute additional watercress.
