UNWIND EATS · GOOD TO KNOW

Method

Prepare the salmon

2
Cook the salmon
Cook it in a hot frying pan for approximately 3–4 minutes on each side, so that it remains juicy in the centre.
3

4
Mix the dressing
Mix the Greek yoghurt, tamari, ginger, garlic and lime juice in a small bowl.
5
Arrange the vegetables
Arrange the courgette noodles, cucumber, sprouts and avocado on a plate.
6
Finish and serve

The role of each ingredient

Why these ingredients?

◐

Salmon

Provides omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D and high-quality protein.

🌿

Avocado

Increases satiety and adds potassium and healthy fats.

◇

Ginger and lime

Freshen the dish and enhance the flavour of the fish.

Tips and substitutions

Adapt the recipe

Do not overcook the salmon, so that it remains juicy.
For a more pronounced flavour, add a little fresh dill.
You can lightly toast the sesame seeds before using them.
Add the sprouts just before serving.
Salt the salmon just before cooking and pat it thoroughly dry. Salt on a damp surface quickly draws out additional moisture and makes browning more difficult.
Freeze the ginger for the dressing and grate it while still frozen. This creates very fine pieces without fibrous fragments.

Plan ahead

Allergens

fish
milk and dairy products (Greek yoghurt)

Storage
