This is a simple recipe that uses local produce wherever you are. In Seychelles we have our local smoked fish and this is what i use in this recipe. However this is a recipe that is adaptable and if you don't have the types of smoke fish that we have here in the Seychelles, smoked salmon is a great alternative or any other type of smoked fish. I love smoked fish and I can eat it in any form, and indeed i do, in bread as sandwich, in pasta and of course as a salad.
I hope you guys try this recipe and you enjoy.
Ingredients
1 packet smoked fish (~150 - 200 grams)
1 carrot, peeled
200g cabbage
1 onion
1/2 lemon or lime
olive oil
salt and pepper
watercress
black olive (to garnish)
Methods
1. To do the salad just grate the cabbage and carrot in a bowl. You can grate the onion if u have a slicer or thinly sliced if you don't have the slicer.
2. Season the cabbage, carrot and onion with salt and pepper (this totally depends on you but I usually use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper works). Add the oil (about 2 tablespoon) and add a squirt of the lemon (again totally depends on how u like your salad, me i like it a bit tangy so i add all the lemon).
3. To assemble this very simple yet elegant salad just use a medium size plate, add the watercress (which is the base of the salad), add the cabbage and carrot salad, then add the smoked fish (if u are using the thinly sliced one u can just tear it up and place it all over the cabbage and carrot salad or u can use the chunkier smoked fish but u'll have to chop it in small pieces and its better to incorporate these in the cabbage and carrot salad before u plate it). Lastly garnish with some black olive (this is optional, me and mostly everyone at home luvs olive) and some fresh coriander (again optional).
Voila! u have a simple yet delicious smoked fish salad. Enjoy!

For a different variations use 1 medium sized green pepper and 1 medium sized red
pepper, 1 medium sized tomatoes, 1 green onion and 1 thai red chilli
(or green if you prefer) instead of the cabbage and carrot. The
remaining ingredients stays the same
