Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the fish and cook for 3-4 mins each side or until browned and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, place the sugar snap peas in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 2 mins or until just tender. Refresh under cold water. Drain well.
  3. Step 3

    Arrange the sugar snap peas, rocket, avocado, cucumber, asparagus and tomato on a serving platter with the fish.
  4. Step 4

    Combine the orange juice, mustard and remaining oil in a jug. Drizzle over the salad and fish. Sprinkle with pine nuts and season with pepper.

    Swap me: Replace the pine nuts with unsalted cashews, toasted, chopped.

    Boost it: Add even more veg to the side by tossing the veggies through cooked broccoli and cauliflower rice.
