Ingredients
750g or 1lb and 10oz of small new potatoes, thickly sliced
750g or 1lb and 10oz of frozen peas and beans
3 tablespoons olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Small pack of mint, leaves only
4 salmon fillets about 140g or 5oz each
Method
-
Boil the potatoes in a large pan for four minutes. Tip in the peas and beans, bring back up to a boil, then carry on cooking for another three minutes until the potatoes and beans are tender. Whizz the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and mint in a blender to make a dressing (or finely chop the mint and whisk into the oil and lemon).
-
Put the salmon in a microwave-proof dish, season, then pour the dressing over. Cover with cling film, pierce, and then microwave on high for four to five minutes until cooked through. Drain the vegetables and mix with the hot dressing and cooking juices from the fish.
-
Serve the fish on top of the vegetables.
Try using different herbs - if you don't have any mint to hand, you can use basil or dill instead. Both add a delicious, herby freshness to this dish.
