Crispy Salmon Fish Salad
Ben O'DonoghueIngredients:
- 100g glass noodles (bean thread vermicelli)
- 2 Lebanese cucumbers, thinly sliced using a vegetable peeler
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced on diagonal
- 2 eschalots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup coriander sprigs
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley sprigs
- 1-2 small red chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped
- 100ml vegetable oil
- 400g salmon fillet with skin-on, pin- boned, cut into 4cm-wide portions
- 2 tbs capers, drained
- Juice of 2 limes, plus wedges to serve
- 1-2 tbs fish sauce, to taste
Method:
- Soak noodles in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and combine with cucumber, spring onion, eschalot, coriander, parsley and chilli in a bowl.
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. When very hot, add salmon skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until very crispy.
- Turn the salmon, then remove the skin using tongs and set aside. Start to break the salmon up into 2-3cm pieces with tongs or a fork, and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until it flakes and starts to crisp.
- Add the capers and cook for a further 45 seconds or until crisp.
- Remove salmon and capers with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towel, then season.
- Dress salad with lime juice and fish sauce, then add salmon, capers and fish skin broken into pieces. Toss and serve with extra lime.
