  3. To make the salad, combine the vegetables and pumpkin seeds in a large bowl.
  4. To make the dressing, mix vinegars, remaining sesame oil and soy sauce in a small bowl, then pour dressing over the salad ingredients.

  6. Serve the salad topped with chunks of salmon.

Tips

  • For a vegetarian option, top with grilled tofu steaks marinated in garlic, lemon and chilli.
  • Baked salmon is a lower fat option as no oil is used. Lay the fillets on a baking tray lined with grease proof paper, and cook at 200°C for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Note that cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
