Marinate your salmon fillets in teriyaki sauce for at least 2 hours and pan fry them for a couple of minutes on each side, starting with the skin side down.

¼ cup fresh green papaya, finely sliced as thinly as possible

1-2 cups fresh baby salad leaves, torn into small bite sized pieces

Cook the edamame beans and french beans in boiling water for 3 minutes before draining and plunging them into ice cold water. Drain and add to a mixing bowl along with all of your other prepared salad vegetables
