Ingredients:

2 tbsp sesame seeds
30g
2 avocados
400g
4 cups spinach
120g
12 oz salmon
340g
1/3 cup mirin
72g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Toast the Sesame Seeds: In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until they are golden brown and fragrant. Keep stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once toasted, set them aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and olive oil. Whisk together until the sugar is completely dissolved and the dressing is well blended.
3. Cut the Avocados: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado flesh into thin slices or cubes, according to your preference.
4. Prepare the Spinach: Rinse and dry the spinach thoroughly. If the leaves are large, you can tear them into bite-sized pieces.
5. Slice the Smoked Salmon: Cut the smoked salmon into thin slices or bite-sized pieces.
6. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, sliced avocado, and smoked salmon.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
7. Finish with Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top of the salad.
8. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful smoked salmon and avocado salad.

Tips:

- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.

- Toast the sesame seeds slightly to enhance their nutty flavor before adding them to the salad.

- Make sure the spinach is well-washed and dried to prevent the salad from becoming too soggy.

- You can substitute mirin with a mix of rice vinegar and a little sugar if you don't have it on hand.

- Chill the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

This smoked salmon and avocado salad is not only nutritious but also delightful to eat. The combination of flavors from the smoked salmon, creamy avocados, and the tangy dressing makes it a standout dish. Serve it fresh and enjoy a flavorful, healthy meal.
