Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 600 g (1 lb 5 oz) salmon fillet, skin on, pin-boned*
• 1⁄2 cup (125 ml) poke zen dressing (see page 196)
• 1 avocado, quartered and peeled
• 2 tablespoons black and white sesame seeds, toasted
• 1⁄4 cabbage, thinly sliced or shredded (about 4 cups worth)
• 250 g (9 oz) microwave brown rice
• 6 radishes, shaved
• 2 Lebanese (short) cucumbers
• 3–4 x 7-minute boiled eggs*, shaved
• 2 spring onions (scallions), green part only, sliced
• 1 cup (150 g) shelled cooked edamame
• 1 packet (2 g) crisp seaweed snacks
• 1 cup (100 g) seaweed salad (store-bought)
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
• A baby fist of coriander (cilantro) leaves

Instructions

1. Starting with a cold pan, add olive oil and place the salmon, skin-side down. Fry over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the skin is golden.
2. Flip the salmon, remove the pan from heat, and let the residual warmth cook it through. Adjust cooking time to preference (medium–rare or well-cooked).
3. Allow the salmon to cool, then remove the skin and break it into bits. Optionally, fry it a bit more for extra crispiness.
4. Cut the salmon flesh into cubes and toss with some of the poke zen dressing. Save the rest for drizzling over the salad.
5. Dunk the sides of the avocado in cool water, then dip in the toasted sesame seeds to coat.
6. Assemble the salad on a platter, incorporating the salmon, avocado, cabbage, rice, radishes, cucumbers, boiled eggs, spring onions, edamame, seaweed snacks, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, and coriander leaves.
7. Just before serving, cut the boiled eggs in half lengthways and place them on top of the salad.
