Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (75g) puffed amaranth
2 tablespoons store-bought dukkah
1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
4 (200g) salmon fillets, skin removed

Sea salt and cracked black pepper
4 cups (50g) snow pea tendrils
2 Lebanese cucumbers (260g), thinly sliced
Chervil sprigs, to serve

Instructions

Place the chilli, extra oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the snow pea tendrils and cucumber and toss to coat. Divide the salmon and salad between serving plates and top with chervil to serve.
