Serves 4

juice of 1 lime
zest of 1 lime, finely grated

2 hot-smoked salmon fillets, cut in half lengthways to produce 4 slim fillets
4 small handfuls of rocket, lamb’s leaf lettuce or mixed leaves
freshly ground black pepper

3 Place a salmon fillet and spoonful of salsa on each plate. Add the leaves and season with black pepper.
