Spicy Tuna Or Salmon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, to taste, if using.

Steps:

• For the salmon cure: Bring the salt, lime juice, sugar, vinegar, soy, fish sauce and jalapeño to a boil in a small pot over medium-high heat; simmer for 5 minutes. Reserve a splash for the miso glaze, then pour the rest over the salmon and dill stems in a heatproof container and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For the miso glaze: Mix together the miso, mustard, olive oil, honey, lime juice and reserved splash of salmon cure, for thinning, in a bowl.
• For the spice and herb coating: Mix the herbs, cumin and berbere together in a bowl. Set aside a little for the salad; put the remainder in a shallow dish.
• Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush on some of the miso glaze. Roll the salmon in the spice and herb coating. Slice the salmon into thin slices.
• For the salad with miso vinaigrette: Add the tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, salt and reserved spice and herb coating to a bowl. Add the lime juice and remaining miso glaze and toss until evenly coated. Stir in the herbs and chive blossoms.
• Char the bread and lemon wedges in a pan.
• To assemble: Place a large spoonful of salad on a plate, then top with the sliced salmon. Garnish with more chive blossoms. Serve with slices of charred pita and lemon wedges.
