- handful water cress
- 5 perilla leaves, sliced
- 5 mint leaves, sliced
- 5 Vietnamese mint leaves, sliced
- 1 tsp fried garlic

Salmon marinade
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tsp caster sugar

Instructions
Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the salmon and marinate for 30 minutes.
To make the salad, chargrill the salmon over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until medium rare, making sure it is well coloured on the outside. Allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes, then flake the flesh into a bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients except for the peanuts, shallots and chilli. Mix together well and turn out onto a serving platter. Garnish with the peanuts, shallots and chilli and serve with sauce.
