Ingredients

Method
  • 2 cups watermelon cubed
  • 1 x 3 cm ginger piece, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 red chilli, sliced
  • 1 t coriander chopped
  • 1 T rice wine vinegar
  • 2 limes, segmented, plus 2 T juice
  • 2 t sesame oil
  • 1 x 400 g lightly smoked salmon fillet, cut into thirds
  • 2 T olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • black sesame seeds, for sprinkling

1 Combine the watermelon, ginger, chilli, coriander, rice wine vinegar, limes and sesame oil and set aside to infuse.

2 Rub the salmon with olive oil, season the skin and place skin side down in a hot, nonstick pan and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the skin is golden and releases from the pan easily. Turn and cook for a further minute, or for 2 minutes if you like your fish cooked all the way through.

3 Serve sprinkled with black sesame seeds and the watermelon salsa.
