  1. Prepare the Seafood:

    • Pat the shrimp and salmon dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    • Heat a pan with a little oil over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon cubes for 2 minutes per side until golden.

    • Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until pink and opaque (about 2–3 minutes). Toss in the pre-cooked mussels at the very end just to warm them through.

  2. Prep the Vegetables:

    • Wash the lettuce and pea shoots; spin dry.

    • Chop the cucumber into small chunks and halve the cherry tomatoes.

    • Slice the red onion into very thin circles for that signature look.

  3. Make the Dressing:

    • Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and ginger until the sugar is dissolved.

  4. Assembly (The "Bowl" Style):

    • Place a bed of lettuce at the bottom of a square white bowl.

    • Layer the cucumber and tomatoes.

    • Arrange the warm seared salmon, shrimp, and mussels on top.

    • Place the red onion rings over the seafood.

    • Top the entire dish with a handful of fresh pea shoots for height.

  5. Final Touch:

    • Drizzle the sesame dressing over the salad.

    • Sprinkle heavily with toasted white sesame seeds.

III. Chef's Notes

  • The "Secret" Ingredient: The pea shoots (the long, curly greens on top) provide a delicate sweetness and professional aesthetic.

  • Serving: This salad is best served while the seafood is still warm, creating a delicious contrast with the cold, crisp vegetables.
