Ingredients

  • 170 g Salmon fillet
  • 100 g Avocado
  • 50 g Arugula
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ Lemon
  • 80 g Cucumber (optional)
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper (optional)

Method

  1. Pat the salmon dry and grind the black pepper over it.
  2. Roast the salmon at 200°C (400°F) for twelve minutes, until the flesh has turned matt and parts under gentle pressure.
  3. Slice the cucumber into thin coins and whisk the olive oil into the lemon juice until it thickens.
  4. Slice the avocado only now, so it does not brown, and toss the rocket and cucumber through most of the dressing.
  5. Break the salmon into big flakes over the leaves while it is still warm, fan the avocado alongside and trickle the rest of the dressing over.
