Salmon with Watercress, Sugar-Snap Peas and Avocado

I'm not sure what it is with me and grocery stores but we seem to have a love/hate relationship.
When I went to pick up the ingredients for this today I didn't have any troubles getting items but this did happen.

Setting - Seafood Counter of Metro

Me: Hi there I'd like to get one salmon steak please. (I decided I'd get one piece and split it between Husband and myself as Husband HATES salmon)
Lady: No problem.
Me: I'd like that one there at the back please.
Lady: Sure thing. [ removes fish from display and weighs it for pricing]
Lady: Well that's a funny price.
Me: Pardon?
Lady: That piece of salmon costs six dollars and sixty-six cents. 666.
Me: Oh, I guess that is odd.

So it seems that my Metro is run by the devil. I wasn't sure what that would mean for my dinner.

However, either I'm the anti-christ or I've been blessed by God in unknown ways because this recipe was the best so far in my opinion. [ I've never been baptized though so draw your own conclusions] This meal is SUPER easy and super fast to make and it's a nice healthy, refreshing meal. This is great if you're looking for something fast and light for dinner or would make a great lunch if you had company. My only trouble with making this was when I was trying to half the piece of salmon steak - but that was of my own demise. Husband really liked the salad but remained predictably negative about the salmon - he barely ate any.
One thing I do recommed is in regards to the "wok oil". Nigella says you can really use any oil but I decided to use sesame oil - one of the ingredients in wok oil - and I highly recommed this as opposed to using olive or veg oil. It really gave great flavour to the salmon.
This recipe I give 2 thumbs up...or maybe 2 pitchforks up!
