Crispy skin salmon, kale, avocado and butternut salad

I’m not a big fan of food being pretty for the sake of it and god knows the internet is full of recipes that are style over substance. Flavour and texture are much more my bag, but a funny thing happens, often when you’re layering up great flavours and textures in a dish, the prettiness appears. This crispy skin salmon, kale, avocado and butternut salad is one of those recipes. It is hearty enough for dinner and leftovers make the most delicious insta-friendly packed lunch.
