Vietnamese Norwegian Salmon Salad

Vietnamese salads are all about being fresh and light.  Raw vegetables, torn herbs and a delicious dressing deliver hot, sweet and sour all in one dish. The rich salmon flavoured with soy and ginger complements this perfectly.

Ingredients

Preparation

  • Mix together the soy, mirin, ginger and garlic, add the salmon fillets and set aside for 10 minutes whilst you make the salad.
  • Put the noodles in a bowl, stir in the radishes, cucumber, chilli and lime zest. Mix together the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and toss into the noodles with the herbs. Set aside.
  • Preheat the grill to medium.  Line a grill pan with foil and grill the fish for 5-6 minutes until just flaking. Or cook on a barbecue.
  • Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a frying pan until hot, add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Serve the salad topped with a piece of salmon, scattered with peanuts and crispy shallots.
