SALADA DE SALMAO E MAIONESE

SERVES: 4

INGREDIENTS:

400g                       fresh salmon, filleted

5ml                         salt

1                              lettuce

2                              hard-boiled eggs, quartered

1                              red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced

1                              small bunch coriander, for garnish

DRESSING:

250ml                    mayonnaise

15ml                      medium curry powder

5ml                        saffron threads

5ml                        ground cumin

15ml                      sugar

METHOD:

Place the salmon and salt in a pot with just enough water to cover.  Once water reaches boiling point, boil the salmon for 5minutes.

Remove the salmon from the water, allow to cool and break into large chunks.  Line the bottom of a salad bowl with the lettuce.  Dip some, not all, of the salmon chunks into a little of the mayonnaise, and then place the salmon chunks on top of the lettuce.

Mix the rest of the mayonnaise with the curry powder, saffron, cumin and sugar to make a creamy, delicious dressing.

Garnish the salad with egg wedges, red pepper and coriander leaves.

Keep in the refrigerator until serving time.
