Ingredients

½ tsp fish sauce
2 tsp light brown soft sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 Thai chilli, finely chopped
1 lime, juice, plus extra wedges or slices, to serve
1 firm, unripe mango, peeled, stoned and julienned
1 cucumber, core removed, flesh julienned
25g pack mint, leaves only, any larger ones torn
1 large shallot, very finely shredded
260g pack 2 Scottish salmon fillets
½ tbsp ground turmeric
½ tbsp sunflower oil
275g pack rice noodles (from the chiller)

Method

In a large bowl, combine the fish sauce, sugar, garlic, chilli and lime juice, plus 2 tbsp water. Fold through the mango, cucumber, mint leaves and shallot.
Place the salmon onto a plate and coat with the turmeric and oil. Season. Put a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and fry for 4-7 minutes, until crisp and deep golden. Flip and cook on the other side for a further 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Cook the noodles according to pack instructions. Serve with the salmon and mango salad, plus lime wedges to squeeze over.
