Ingredients

Dressing:

1 bunch fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
10 leaves fresh basil
1/2 cup fresh dill, coarsely chopped
2 spring onions, coarsely chopped (whites and greens)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper


Poached salmon:

250g packet Regal Salmon fresh loins
2 cups fish or chicken stock
1 lemon, cut in quarters
sprig fresh herbs like dill, thyme or parsley
1/2 telegraph cucumber, sliced thinly
1 red onion, peeled and sliced thinly
2 tomatoes, sliced very thinly

Method

1. Place the parsley, basil, dill, and spring onions in a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely minced. Add oil and vinegar. Process for just a few seconds longer, then transfer to a bowl or container. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Taste to adjust vinegar, then whisk until uniformly blended. Cover tightly and chill until use.

2. Heat a shallow sauté pan with the stock. The liquid should just cover the fish pieces. Add the lemon and herbs. When simmering lay the salmon pieces in the pan. Cook for 4 minutes until the salmon turns opaque. When firm, remove the pieces and allow to drain on a warmed plate. The salmon can be served warm or cold with the salad.

3. Prepare the vegetables and place in a shallow dish. Spoon over some of the dressing to marinate the vegetables, coating all the surfaces. To assemble, place pieces of the vegetables separately on the plate and accompany with the salmon. Serve with extra dressing and crusty bread.
