Lachie Strachan’s Grilled Salmon Salad with a Creamy Coriander & Lime Dressing
This is the perfect light summer meal for those warmer nights. The dressing is also so delicious that I like to make a double
batch to use on more salads or on other dishes. The salmon fillets are cooked on the BBQ grill accompanied by cumin &
chilli powder which pair perfectly when laid on a bed of rocket & the rest of the fresh ingredients, then finished with extra
dressing & crumbled parmesan cheese.

3. Coat salmon fillets with olive oil, salt & pepper along with the cumin & chilli powder.
4. In a large bowl toss the rocket & cucumbers together with some of the dressing. Following that add in the tomatoes cut
in half, toasted pumpkin seeds & red onion tossing to coat evenly with the dressing.
5. Place the salmon skin side down on the BBQ grill on medium – high heat & close the lid cooking for around 3 minutes. Flip the

fillets whole or cut into pieces, avocado slices & a few more pumpkin seeds. Top with extra dressing some extra coriander
