SEYCHELLES: Smoked Fish Salad (Salad Pwason Fimen)

Whenever asked what he wants for dinner, my husband replies, "Salad with protein." Glad I was able oblige him with this one. A super simple, stunning, and delicious dinner that took less than 10 minutes to make.

Smoked Fish Salad (Salad Pwason Fimen)

8 oz smoked fish, such as swordfish, marlin, or tuna (I used TJ salmon, because it was what I found)

1 red pepper

1 medium tomato, such as a Roma

1 under-ripe mango

½ red onion

10 oz lettuce or your choice

1 cup shredded cabbage, optional

1 lime

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Break the smoked fish into bite-size pieces or, if it's firmer, use a knife to julienne it.

2. Julienne the pepper, tomato, mango, and onion.

3. Place the lettuce in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, if using, julienned vegetables, and fish. Squeeze the lime over top. Drizzle with the olive oil. Toss and season to taste.
