Summer is back! We have been having sunny days since Saturday. Looks like we are experiencing late summer at the moment. However, I don’t know how long it is going to stay.
Anyway, whether it’s summer or not, it still doesn’t deter me to enjoy salad from time to time! There are probably countless of times that I mention how I love salad and the ease of preparing it. The combination is just endless. One of the main ingredients that I always like is fish or seafood. Salmon is one of my favourites. Not only it’s delicious with exceptional nutritional value of omega 3 fatty acids, the lovely pink-hued salmon can be served in a variety of ways and is always a favourite among fish lovers and enjoyed even by those who are not always fond of fish.
Accompanying ingredients in this dish are radishes, cherry tomatoes and cress. These are ingredients that you can easily bought at supermarket and I think they go really well with the salmon and not too overpowering compared to using stronger taste of salad leaves. It’s perfect for my liking. For the salmon, I choose to pan-fry, which is easy and can be done within minutes. You can choose to poach or steam it if you want.

Salmon is my favourite too. It's such a healthy and delish way to use it for salad! Time to top up my Omega-3. 😉

Congrats to the winners and what a wonderful salad! We've had a return of warmer weather this week too but today was all pouring rain. I'd like a taste of this salad rain or shine though.
Xiaolu, I do agree with you, rain or shine, I love salad 😉
I LOVE salmon- that looks delish! My absolute favorite salmon dish is linguine with smoked salmon. It's definitely not healthy, but it tastes amazing!
