Seared Salmon with Herbed Potato Salad

It was the Japanese who first showed us how good salmon is eaten raw and the appropriateness of tataki – searing the outside briefly to leave the centre uncooked and moist. However you treat it, the quality of the fish is very important now that salmon farming is delivering some of the cheapest and nastiest protein on earth. That being said, the best farmed variety can be indistinguishable from wild salmon, if it is fed decently and grown in locations with a fast-running current.
