Cooking Steps

Cook the salmon
1
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides.
  • When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. 

TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!

Get prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into ribbons.
  • Cut tomato into thin wedges.
  • Slice lime into wedges.
Toss the salad
3
  • Just before serving, in a large bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and a generous squeeze of lime.
  • Add mixed salad leaves, carrot ribbons, cucumber and tomato. Toss to coat and season to taste

TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.

Finish & serve
4
  • Divide lime-tomato salad between bowls. 
  • Top with salmon and dollop over sambal. 
  • Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!

SPICY! The sambal is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat!
