Instructions
Cook the eggs in a pan of boiling water for 8 mins.
Drain, then cool under running water. Peel the eggs, then cut them into quarters.
Put the salmon, skin-side down, onto a baking tray, then grill for 4 mins. Turn the fish, add the torn pitta to the grill pan, then cook for 2-3 mins more until the salmon has cooked through and the pitta is crisp and golden. Leave to cool.
Meanwhile, place the watercress, horseradish and garlic in a food processor, then whizz until finely chopped.
Add the yogurt and 3-4 tbsp water, then pulse for a few secs more to make a smooth, pourable dressing.
Add a little lemon juice and seasoning to taste.
Break the salmon into large flakes. Scatter the lettuce over a platter, then top with the egg, salmon and pitta.
Drizzle over the dressing, toss and serve.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. You could try Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.

Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay
The 2014 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, is typical for the variety with aromas of apples, white peaches and citrus. With longer time in the glass nuanced aromas of nutmeg, slight toast and vanilla come to play along with suggestion of pineapple and ripe Meyer lemons. The mouth feel is crisp and restrained with clear minerality and purity of fruit. Rich, elegant and beautifully balanced.
