Ingredients
Units
VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
- 1/2 Red onion
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Lemon – zest of 1 full lemon; juice of 1/2 lemon (set aside the other 1/2 for the salmon)
- Pinch sugar
FOR THE SALMON
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Salmon fillets
- 1/2 Lemon, sliced
VEGETABLES
- 120g Asparagus
- 100g Tenderstem Broccoli
- 500g Baby Potatoes
HERBY YOGHURT DRESSING
- 2/3 Cup yoghurt (or 140g)
- 6g Dill (1/2 for dressing, 1/2 for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by making the dressing: finely dice the red onion, add the sugar, oil and vinegar together, stir to combine. Add the zest of a lemon, and the juice of half the lemon into the dressing. Set aside and allow the red onions to pickle.
- Thinly slice the other half of the lemon and place the slices onto a baking tray. Then place your salmon fillets on top. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Boil your kettle, then pour the boiling water into a pot and add the potatoes. Cook until soft.
- Place the salmon into your air fryer and cook at 160 C for 10-12 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are soft you can add the broccoli and asparagus to the boiling water and blanch until al dente (approximately 30 seconds – 1 minute). Drain, then rinse under cold water to prevent from cooking further and turning brown.
- Cut the broccoli and asparagus into bite-sized pieces and halve the potatoes. Toss together with the vinaigrette dressing.
- Finley chop the dill and combine ½ with yoghurt, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- It’s time to plate up! Smear the herby yoghurt dressing at the bottom of a plate, then top with the broccoli, asparagus and potatoes. Finish with chunks of salmon, and garnish with the rest of the dill.
Notes
An easy way to combine ingredients for a salad dressing is to add all the ingredients to a jar (a cleaned jam jar with a lid is ideal), simply add the ingredients, secure the lid and shake vigorously to combine. Give it a good shake before pouring it over the salad.
