Carrot Kachumber with Salmon

Take a quick peep in your fridges...we think you may already have everything you need to make this delicious, Indian inspired salad. Utterly delicious served as a quick lunchtime treat in wrap or as part of a main meal with grilled chicken, halloumi or in this case, the option of adding salmon. We also love serving this as a side dish to our popular 25 Minute Butter Chicken recipe.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Peel and grate the carrots and add to a large mixing bowl along with the sliced onion and chopped fresh tomatoes. Season the salad with salt and dress with the lemon juice (or 2 limes).

Step 2

In a small saucepan, add the vegetable or coconut oil. Turn the heat to medium and when hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow the spices to crackle for 10 seconds before pouring the tempered spices over the salad. Mix well and add the chopped coriander (or any soft fresh herbs) and the chopped green chilli (if using). Set aside to marinate while you cook the salmon (if using).

Step 3

Heat a large frying pan or griddle pan on a high heat. When hot, lay in the salmon, skin side down and cook for 5 minutes before turning the fish and cooking for a further 2 minutes. If you have half a lemon or lime in the fridge, squeeze it over the salmon and serve with the Kachumber (and some basmati rice, heated according to manufacturer instructions if you wish).
