  • olive oil1 tbsp tbsp
  • salmon fillet450g g

    skinned

  • oranges2large
  • red onions3small
  • large, cooked, peeled prawn225g g
  • bistro leaves or mixed salad leaves2 x 150g bags
  • olive oil125ml ml
  • wholegrain mustard2 tbsp tbsp
  • heather honey1 ½ tbsp tbsp

    or clear honey

  • mayonnaise1 tbsp tbsp
  • white wine1 tbsp tbsp

    or raspberry vinegar

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    The day before, heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the salmon, skinned side down, for 12-15 minutes, turning half way through. It should be cooked all the way through and opaque in the centre.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, make the dressing. Put olive oil, mustard, honey, mayonnaise and vinegar with some salt and pepper into a blender and whizz until well combined, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Peel and segment the oranges and remove any pith (work over a plate so you can catch all the juices). Cover the oranges and keep in a cool place. Stir the orange juice into the dressing and store it in a screw top jar. Slice the onions, put into a plastic bag and store in the fridge.

  4. 4

    Flake the salmon into large pieces using two forks to tease the flesh apart, then spoon over half the dressing. Cover and chill.

  5. 5

    When ready to serve, shake the dressing, put the sliced onion, prawns and orange segments in a large bowl and drizzle over the remaining dressing. Add the salad leaves and toss together lightly. Using your hands, gently lift the mixture on to a large platter and scatter over the salmon flakes. Season with some coarsely ground black pepper and serve immediately.
