  • 1/2 small pumpkin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • sea or Himalaya salt to taste

For the salad

  • 2 handfuls lamb's lettuce
  • 1 small beet, thinly sliced

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  • Cut the pumpkin into small cubes and add it to a baking tray.
  • Add the spices to the pumpkin and stir.
  • Bake the pumpkin for about 40 min or until soft.*
  • Meanwhile, steam the salmon using a little bit of water for about 5-10min (you can also put it in the oven for about 12 min together with the pumpkin – but remember to take it out!)
  • Prepare the salad: add the lamb’s lettuce to a bowl, and then all the other ingredients.
  • Prepare the salad dressing by mixing all ingredients.
  • When the salmon and pumpkin and ready, add them to the bowl.

Notes

* Tip: I normally make the pumpkin the day before.
