Quality Protein
6 oz smoked salmon, broken into pieces
Non-Starchy Veggies
1 cucumber
1 red bell pepper, chopped
Fresh coriander, chopped
Healthy Fats
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp black sesame seeds
Dressing
1 lime juiced, 1 Tbsp fish sauce, 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
Extras
1 garlic clove sliced, black pepper
Make It
Roughly chop the red bell pepper and put it in a bowl.
Smash the cucumber with a meat mallet or rolling pin, slice into bite-size pieces, and add to the bowl with the sliced garlic and coriander.
Mix the dressing ingredients with the sesame oil and drizzle over. Toss well and plate.
Break the salmon into pieces over the top and season with black pepper.
Notes
Smash the cucumber, do not slice it. The torn edges hold far more dressing than a clean cut.
Look for wild rather than farmed salmon.
Smoked salmon is high in sodium and fish sauce adds more, so drink your water.
