• Preheat the grill. Arrange the salmon fillets on the grill rack and cook for six to eight minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily. Set to one side to cool • In a large salad bowl, mix together the rocket, fennel, spring onions, cherry tomatoes, avocado and prawns. Break up the salmon into large chunks, removing any skin, and add to the mixture. Share between four serving plates or bowls and sprinkle the lemon juice on top.
