    • Cherry tomatoes: in full season from June to September inclusive!
    • Goat's cheese for a little indulgence.
    • A red onion: adds freshness and zest to the salad.
    • Fresh herbs: basil, chives and parsley.
    • Garlicgarlic garlic: if you want to choose your garlic carefully to avoid condoning the enslavement of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.

    Vegan and dairy-free version

    • To make this recipe vegan, remove the salmon and replace it with vegan imitation salmon. Replace the goat cheese with a vegan cheese of your choice.
    • To make this recipe dairy-free, use a dairy-free cheese, of which there are many.

    The chef's advice

    1. Your frying oil should be at 355°F/180°C: above this, the salmon pieces risk disintegrating, and below this, you'll need to leave them longer to brown, so they'll be overcooked inside.
    2. The trick to finding out if the frying oil is hot is to drop a tiny crumb of Panko breadcrumbs: if it fries right away, it's good.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I do it in advance?

    As it can be kept for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the fridge, yes, you can prepare it a little ahead of time.

    Which wine to drink with it?

    I recommend a dry, light, fresh white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. If you like rosé, a dry, fruity wine like those from Provence may be just the thing! And for red wine lovers, opt for a light wine, such as a Pinot Noir or Gamay.

    What to do with used cooking oil?

    If your oil hasn't turned black, you can wait for it to cool down and put it back in the bottle for repeated use.
    Otherwise, don't pour your frying oil down the sink, or it will clog up. The best thing to do is to put it back in the bottle once it has cooled down (very important, otherwise it will leak), then take it to a waste disposal site with hazardous waste or special household waste. And if that's impossible, at least put it in the non-recyclable waste garbage can.
