Ingredients

• 2 pieces abalone
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large garlic clove

Directions

Step 1

Clean the abalone by gently scrubbing the shells under cold running water. Remove the abalone from the shell by sliding a spoon between the flesh and the shell.

Step 2

Rinse the abalone meat to remove any remaining debris. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Tenderize the abalone meat by gently pounding it with a meat mallet. Do not overdo it; you want to ensure they remain intact but slightly tender.

Step 4

Slice the abalone into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 5

Mince the garlic clove finely.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with a bit of olive oil.

Step 8

Add the abalone slices to the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are light golden brown. Do not overcook as abalone can become tough.

Step 9

Remove from the skillet and let them rest while you prepare the salad.

Step 10

Peel and thinly slice the cucumber. Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop it out and slice it thinly. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 11

On a serving platter, spread the mixed salad greens evenly.

Step 12

Arrange the cucumber, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes on top of the greens.

Step 13

Place the cooked abalone slices neatly over the vegetables.

Step 14

Drizzle the dressing over the entire salad.

Step 15

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.

Step 16

Serve immediately while abalone is still slightly warm, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
