Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
4 pieces of salmon (approximately 150g per piece)
100g un-cooked quinoa
150g mango diced small
1 red chilli finely chopped
½ a red onion, finely diced
1 tbsp of chopped fresh coriander
1 lime, juice and zest
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
Avocado dressing:
1 ripe avocado
50ml natural yoghurt 1 garlic clove Juice of one lime Sea salt and pepper
Method
1. Firstly, cook the Quinoa according to the packet instructions, then cool. Prep the rest of the salad ingredients and then mix in well with the Quinoa. Cover and set aside.
Then de-stone and peel the avocado, roughly chop and add to a blender, along with the crushed garlic, yoghurt, lime and seasoning. Blitz until smooth, then place in a small bowl, cover with cling film and place in the fridge.
2. Heat up a griddle pan and then brush the salmon very lightly with olive oil, then season and place in the pan.
Cook on both sides until you get some good charred lines. Keep it slightly translucent in the centre. This should take about 5 minutes each side.
Serving
Serve the salmon on top of the Quinoa with a dollop of the avocado dressing.
