Bring a burst of sunshine to your table with this vibrant Sri Lankan-style salmon, seared to perfection and topped with a spicy, aromatic sambal. The zesty cherry tomato salad provides a fresh crunch, while the native finger-lime dressing adds a sophisticated, citrusy pop. It’s a tropical getaway on a plate, minus the long-haul flight.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook the salmon

1

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides.
When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side.

TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!

Get prepped

2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop cucumber.
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into ribbons.
• Halve snacking tomatoes.

Toss the salad

3

• Just before serving, in a large bowl, combine finger lime dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Add mixed salad leaves, carrot ribbons, cucumber and tomatoes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.

Finish & serve

4

• Divide cherry tomato salad between bowls.
• SPICY! Use less sambal if you’re sensitive to heat! Top with salmon and drizzle with sambal.
• Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
