  • 50g (1.7 oz) snow peas
  • 50g (1.7 oz) fresh asparagus
  • ½ avocado, thinly sliced

Method

  1. For the Dressing: Whisk all the ingredients together and season to taste. Set aside.

  3. Blanch the snow peas and asparagus and then plunge into ice water. Slice the avocado thinly and set aside.
  4. Heat a medium non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Drizzle the salmon with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear on both sides for about 4 minutes each or until the fish is just cooked through.
  5. Set aside and then flake into large pieces when fish is slightly cooled.
