Yumm Appurn (Apple and Smoked Salmon Salad)
From chef and author Su-Mei Yu

Yumm Appurn (Apple and Smoked Salmon Salad)
A lot of people are intimidated by Asian cooking, but Su-Mei Yu says there is no need to be.

"It's not that hard anymore, because you can buy all the ingredients in most places," she said. "Don't be intimidated. Go with the flow and think Asian. You can find all these ingredients in any supermarket."

Ingredients

Juice of 1 lemon (rind reserved)

2 Granny Smith Apples

1/4 pound smoked salmon, shredded (1 cup)

2 shallots, thinly sliced

4 to 5 fresh bird chiles or 2 to 3 serrano chiles or more, minced

3/4 cup Dressing One

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon rind, and three cups cold water. Quarter the apples, leaving them unpeeled, and remove the core and the seeds, putting the apple quarters in the lemon water as you proceed. Slice each quarter very thinly and return the slices to the lemon water.

At serving time, drain the apple slices and rinse with cool water. Pat dry with paper towels and arrange on a platter. Scatter the smoked salmon over the apple slices and top with the sliced shallots. To serve, mix the minced fresh chiles with the dressing and pour over the salad. Toss well and serve.

Dressing One

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup fish sauce (namm pla)

2 tablespoons palm sugar or light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the sea salt, fish sauce, palm sugar, and granulated sugar and cook over low heat, stirring, just until the sea salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl to cool. When cooled completely, stir in the lime juice.
