This is the sort of salad you could live on all year round: fresh salmon, avocado, rice noodles and loads of fresh herb, in a bright and tangy dressing. You don’t need to chop the herbs, as they will wilt into the salad as you eat.

Ingredients

500 g salmon fillets, skinned
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
200 g rice vermicelli noodles
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 avocado, peeled and roughly chopped
1 small red chilli, finely sliced
handful of fresh mint
handful of basil leaves
handful of coriander leaves
2 tbsp peanuts, chopped
1 lime, quartered

Dressing

2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp sugar

Preparation

Coat the salmon in 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce. Heat a frying pan, add the oil, and sear the salmon for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, leaving it a little pink in the middle. Set aside until ready to eat.

Place the noodles in a bowl, pour on boiling water to cover, and leave for 4 minutes (or prepare according to packet instructions). Drain well.

Whisk the dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, avocado and chilli and gently toss (squish a couple of cherry toms into the dressing for extra juices).  

Add the noodles, mint, basil and coriander and lightly toss.  Divide between four dinner plates or shallow pasta plates. Break up the salmon with your fingers and gently tuck in to the noodles. Scatter with peanuts and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Different paprikas

When using paprika make sure you are using the right variety for the dish you are cooking. The Spanish smoked paprika is ideal for paella, while the Hungarian sweet paprika is quite different in flavour and is ideal for their goulash.
