Ingredients

2 salmon fillets
1 cup of Quinoa (uncooked)
1 peeled persimmon
1 cucumber
1 red onion
Cream cheese for serving

Sauce

1 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of hot sauce
Juice from 1 lime

Method

Prepare quinoa: in a pot bring to the boil 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water, then simmer for 15-20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed
Meanwhile prepare your vegetables and persimmon by finely dicing veggies
Mix sauce ingredients together
I use hot smoked salmon so no cooking is required. However if using fresh salmon, poach for 15-20 minutes until cooked, in 1-2cm of water. Alternatively grill fresh salmon for 25 minutes instead of poaching. It is delicious this way with a crispy skin
Toss quinoa, veggies, persimmon and sauce ingredients together
Serve with salmon to the side and a touch of cream cheese like in the picture
