Start with your salmon. If using fresh fillet, remove any skin and dice it into small cubes — think pea-sized for the best texture.

Avocado next. Halve, pit, and dice the avocado to match the salmon pieces.

Mint moment. Stack and roughly chop your mint leaves — they’ll add a burst of cool freshness.
