Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to maximum.

Step 2

Drizzle a little olive oil over the skin side of the salmon, place on the grill pan or a baking tray and slide under the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the skin side, before carefully flipping and grilling for a further 4 minutes. Turn the grill off and leave the salmon to keep warm until you're ready to eat.

Step 3

While the salmon is cooking, tip the pumpkin seeds into a dry frying pan and toast over a high heat for about 2 minutes, or until they start turning brown and popping. Season with a little salt and leave in the pan.

Step 4

Using the back of a fork, break up the avocado in a bowl. Add the onion, sesame oil and coriander. Mix the whole lot together until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Slide your salmon onto a plate, removing the skin as you go. Pile up the guacamole, slice and scatter over the feta, and finish with a sprinkling of toasted pumpkin seeds, a pile of watercress and a squeeze of lime juice, if using.
