Supersize me Recreating Pret a Manger's new mega salad at home

This week Pret a Manger sparked uproar when it launched a range of supersize salads.
This week Pret a Manger sparked uproar when it launched a range of supersize salads. It came as a response to what Pret said was "a shift in what customers want from lunch", although possibly not from their wallet, with the premium salads priced between £10-£13.
But how good are they? And why do they cost that much? I recreated the miso salmon mega plate at home. It is fun copying the ingredients from the back of a packet to come up with a recipe.
With the miso salmon plate, I am impressed by the original: the plate looks very pretty, and the lightly smoked salmon fillet has an excellent texture. The tenderstem broccoli is just-blanched and pleasingly crunchy.
