This salad takes only 5 minutes to put together, if you prepare all the ingredients beforehand (including washing the salad mix and making the scallion sauce), or about 15-20 minutes if you are doing everything on the same day. Either way, this is a quick & easy salad recipe!
HOMEMADE SCALLION SAUCE
I had a bunch of scallions to use up, so I made a quick pan of scallion sauce. The scallion sauce takes only 10 minutes to make and keeps well in the fridge for 2 weeks – so you can make this scallion sauce in advance for meal prep. The scallion sauce is really nice when spread over cooked fish or chicken.
READY-COOKED FISH FILLET
I found this vacuumed cooked teriyaki fish (buri aka yellowtail) at Kuriya Japanese Supermarket selling at 3 pouches for S$10. They had 3 fish to choose from, and previously I used their cooked saba fish in my ochazuke which was really yummy too! Just like my convenient chicken salad, the main protein was “outsourced” by buying it in the cooked & vacuumed state, for quick meals on busy days.
PUTTING THE SALAD TOGETHER
Just put everything together (salad, fish & toppings) in the salad bowl. I also made a 1-minute sesame-soy dressing, but you can use any instant salad dressing. Spread the scallion sauce over the fish, with some extra sauce on the side to enjoy.
This is the kind of food that I could enjoy every day and won’t get tired of! Delicious and nutritious!
I like it “outsourced” -that’s how convenient meals are born :p
