Spring salmon with minty veg recipe

Ingredients

  • 750g small new potato, thickly sliced
  • 750g frozen pea and beans (we used Waitrose pea and bean mix, £2.29/1kg)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • small pack mint, leaves only
  • 4 salmon fillets about 140g/5oz each

Method

  • Boil the potatoes in a large pan for 4 mins. Tip in the peas and beans, bring back up to a boil, then carry on cooking for another 3 mins 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, then microwave on High for 4-5 mins until cooked through. Drain the veg, then mix with the hot dressing and cooking juices from the fish. Serve the fish on top of the vegetables.
