MB (2019-06-18)

Preparation time: 12 minutes
Ingredients for 2 persons:

4 sprigs coriander

Place 1⁄2 l (17 fl.oz) water in an electric kettle and heat. Rinse spring onions, coriander and chili under running cold water and dab dry with kitchen towel. Pluck coriander leaves from the sprigs and chop coarsely. Remove the dark green and dry ends from the spring onions and cut them diagonally into fine rings.  Remove the seeds from the chili pepper and cut into fine rings. Pour water from the kettle into a small pot and salt generously. Peel the carrots, rinse the zucchini under cold running water, dab dry with kitchen towel, remove both ends and cut into spaghetti form with a spiral cutter or into bite-sized pieces by hand with a knife. Rinse lime under hot running water, dab dry, rub the dark green peel and put aside in a small bowl.

Heat a medium-sized pan at a high temperature without adding fat. Rinse salmon filet under running cold water, dab dry with kitchen towel, brush with olive oil on both sides and season with sea salt and pepper to taste. First fry the salmon filet crispy on the skin side for about 2 minutes. Heat the zucchini-carrot-zoodels briefly in a pan and then add to the dressing in the bowl. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Turn the salmon filet and reduce the heat to medium. Press the unpeeled garlic with your hand or the flat side of a knife and add to the salmon in the pan.  Arrange the vegetables in the center of the plate, place the salmon filet on top, skin side up, and garnish with lime peel.
