In a small bowl, add the garlic paste along with other dressing ingredients. Mix well and taste for seasoning. Add extra salt or pepper if required. Set aside

  • Step 3

    In a small pan, add butter until melted on high heat. Place breadcrumbs and salt, mixing occasionally. Cook until golden brown - this should take 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave too cool.

  • Step 4

    For the salmon, sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. In a large heavy duty pan, heat a table spoon of olive oil along with a table spoon of butter on high heat. Place the salmon in the pan skin side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes ensuring the is a nice amount of butter sauce underneath (this will make for a delicious and juicy fish). Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.

    Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well. Roughly flake the salmon and scatter with the avocado. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and extra cheese. Serve and enjoy!
