The Salmon Fish Salad Recipe: Easy, Healthy and Delicious

This is my spur-of-the-moment Salmon Fish Salad Recipe. Served on a bed of fresh salad with breaded and fried Halloumi fries (Of course, If you want to make it a full healthy meal – you can always opt for grilled halloumi cheese, rather than coating them in breadcrumbs and frying them).
Remember, that you can tweak any recipe to suit your needs. However, have it with a few extra calories and you’ll thank me later.
I actually invented this one few months after my pregnancy. On my journey of losing the excess weight – I decided to make my meals slightly interesting. Getting bored was not on my list. This salmon fish salad recipe is one of those moments.
This is a fresh go-to lunch recipe that will keep you satisfied without feeling guilty.

How to cook it
Marinate your experience:
- Medium heat the Olive Oil in a grill pan.
- Now, add the fish over the heated oil.
- Lightly sprinkle with the Salt, Pepper, Mustard Powder, Seed Mixture and Dried Parsley over the fish.
- No need to use cups or measurements.
- Add the Garlic Cloves over the fish. Because garlic is the answer to everything.
- Grill the fish on all sides until done.
Boil the Potato:
- In a saucepan, add water upto halfway point.
- Now, Add 1/2 tsp salt into the saucepan and allow to boil.
- Meanwhile, dice 1 medium potato into small chunks.
- Add into the saucepan and allow to boil for up to 10 minutes or until it’s soft enough to eat.
- Take one chunk of potato out and check if it is done.
- When it is ready, drain into a colander.
- Allow to cool down.
Style the Salad:
- Chop and dice everything according to how much you will eat.
- In your plate, shred some Lettuce.
- Cut few cherry Tomatoes in half.
- Chop up some fresh Parsley.
- Dice the Cucumbers.
- Dice the red salad Pepper.
- Pour over some fat free Vinaigrette dressing.
- Live life Well!
You had me at Halloumi:
- In a small pan, add enough Oil to deep-fry the Halloumi cheese.
- Turn on Medium Heat and allow the oil to heat up.
- Meanwhile, cut the Halloumi cheese into long sticks. If they turn out small or begin to crack (they have a mind of their own sometimes) – its ok. No need to be so perfect. The flavour matters.
- Make sure to drain the water out of the packet.
- Coat the sticks in breadcrumbs.
- Check if the oil is hot – add a few breadcrumbs into the oil and they should start sizzling HOT!
- Deep-fry the Halloumi sticks until golden brown.
- OH.MY…..I’m drooling while writing this. I love Halloumi cheese.
