Ingredients

  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 x 280g pkts Coles Fresh Tasmanian Salmon Portions Skin On

STEP 1

Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Season the salmon. Place, skin-side down, in the pan. Cook for 5-6 mins or until golden and crisp. Turn and cook for 40 secs on the 3 skinless sides. Transfer, skin-side up, to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.

STEP 2

Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the leek, garlic and baby broccoli and cook for 3-5 mins or until the vegetables are tender. Add the lettuce and season. Cook for 2 mins or until lettuce begins to wilt. Add the butter, lemon juice and half the lemon zest and toss to coat.

Divide lettuce mixture among serving plates. Top with salmon. Sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest and almond.
