Your ingredients:

- 1 can of seaweed with smoked salmon (about 200 g, make sure it also contains carrots and sesame seeds)
- 1 can of sweet corn (about 300 g)
- 1 small head of green lettuce (can be romaine or iceberg, depending on preference)
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 3 endive leaves (for serving)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Lemon juice (optional, for a fresher taste)

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by opening the can of seaweed. Drain the liquid and place the seaweed in a large bowl. Add the smoked salmon, which will add a rich and hearty flavor to the dish.

2. Adding the corn
Open the can of sweet corn, drain it well, and add the kernels to the bowl with the seaweed. The corn will bring a sweet and crunchy note, balancing the intense flavors of the salmon.

3. Preparing the vegetables
Wash the green lettuce and slice it thinly. The tomatoes should be washed and diced into small cubes. Finely chop the garlic. Add all these to the bowl with seaweed and corn. Gently mix to combine the ingredients.

4. The dressing
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, soy sauce, and pepper. This combination will give the salad a savory dressing with Asian flavors. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix again.

5. Finalizing the dish
If you want a fresher taste, add a few drops of lemon juice, which will enhance the flavors and provide a hint of acidity.

6. Serving
Use the endive leaves to create a serving bed. Place the salad on top and sprinkle sesame seeds for an attractive garnish and an extra crunch.

Practical tip:
If you want to personalize the salad, you can add avocado for a creamy texture or cucumbers for an extra freshness. You can also use other types of smoked fish, depending on your preferences.
