Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 225g each)

  • 150g baby spinach, loosely packed

  • 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1 small Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced

Green tahini dressing

  • ½ cup baby spinach, loosely packed

  • about 4 tbsp fresh dill sprigs, or to taste

  • ¼ cup tahini

  • ½ cup Greek-style yoghurt

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1 garlic clove, chopped

  • ½ tsp salt

Method

  1. Step 1

    For the green tahini dressing, combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend to a smooth consistency.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a medium frypan over high heat and add the oil. Season the salmon fillets well with salt and pepper and fry for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side until crisp on the outside and lightly cooked in the centre.

  3. Step 3

    Drain on absorbent paper then break the fillets into chunks. Combine the chunks with the remaining salad ingredients and serve with the green tahini dressing.
