  • 1tsp sea salt flakes
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 x 200g salmon fillets, skin removed

Method

Mix the amaranth, dukkah and salt on a small tray.

Dip each salmon fillet in the egg then press into the dukkah mixture to coat.

Heat 30ml of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the salmon, turning every 3-4 minutes, for 10-12 minutes or until just cooked through and the crumb is golden.

Place the chilli, remaining 60ml oil, lime juice, garlic, coriander, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.

Add the mangetout tendrils and cucumber and toss to coat.

Divide the salmon and salad between serving plates then top with the chervil sprigs.
