Step-by-step

  1. Drain the canned salmon, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Remove any skin and bones, if wished, then break the salmon into chunks.
  2. Put the salad leaves into a large salad bowl and add the red onion, fennel and avocados. Peel the grapefruit using a sharp, serrated knife to remove all the peel and pith, then slice into segments, removing all the membrane. Do this over the salad bowl to catch all the juice
  3. To make the dressing, whisk together the reserved salmon liquid with the mustard, olive oil and lemon juice. Tip into the salad bowl and add the salmon chunks, then toss together gently so that the salmon does not break up too much. Season and serve at once
