Ingredients

Herbed aioli:

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Greens:

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 5-ounce package mixed baby greens
1 small head of radicchio, coarsely torn
1 1/4 to 1 1/3 pounds smoked fish fillets (such as trout and/or whitefish), skin and any small bones removed, fish broken into bite-size pieces

Preparation

  1. For herbed aioli:

    Step 1

    Combine 2 tablespoons water, egg yolks, lemon juice, and garlic in medium metal bowl; whisk to blend. Place bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Whisk until mixture thickens and thermometer registers 160°F, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from over water. Cool 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Gradually whisk olive oil into aioli base, then 2 tablespoons water. Whisk in chives and parsley. Season aioli to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. DO AHEAD: can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring aioli to room temperature and whisk before using.

  2. For greens:

    Step 3

    Whisk oil and lemon juice in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Combine greens and radicchio in large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Arrange greens mixture on large platter or divide among plates. Top with fish. Drizzle some aioli over. Serve, passing remaining aioli alongside.
