Rested salmon in a crisp, crunchy salad with yogurt-mustard dressing.

1.

Fish: Remove the skin from the salmon fillet with a knife. If you want to use it with the skin on, remove the scales with a kitchen peeler. Then wash it, cut it, dry it with a paper towel, lightly salt, pepper, sprinkle with cumin, drizzle with lemon juice and let it rest for a while.

2.

Salad: Break the cooled heads of lettuce into leaves, rinse them under water, drizzle with oil, apple cider vinegar, lightly salt and pour a little water over them. Sweeten with honey.

3.

Dressing: Put the yoghurt in a bowl, add the mustard, olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley, a drizzle of lemon juice and stir.

4.

Pour some olive oil into a hot pan, place the salmon skin side down (or skin side down if you left it on) and sauté for about 5 minutes until crispy. Occasionally pour the fat over the surface. Then flip and sear on the other side for 3-4 minutes. Allow to finish cooking in the pan for about 5 minutes and serve immediately.

5.

Place the whole lettuce leaves on plates, drizzle the dressing over them and place a portion of salmon in the centre. Top with a knob of butter for flavour and a slice of lemon for garnish. Enjoy!
