• 2 long fresh red chillies, deseeded, thinly sliced
• 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 (about 150g each) skinless salmon fillets
Method
Step 1
Cook the asparagus and snow peas in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 2 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp. Refresh under cold running water. Drain.
Step 2
Combine the asparagus mixture, grapefruit segments and snow pea sprouts in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk the mustard, honey, chilli, reserved grapefruit juice and 2 tablespoons of oil in a jug. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
Step 5
Add half the dressing to the asparagus mixture. Divide salmon among serving bowls. Top with asparagus mixture. Drizzle over remaining dressing to serve.
