roast salmon salad

servings
4

method

Chunks of lemony fish scattered over a light salad of watercress, herbs, green beans and potatoes – all topped off with a dollop of garlicky mayonnaise.

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.

Rub the salmon pieces with a little oil, lemon juice and zest (saving some for the dressings), salt and pepper. Place them on a piece of foil and bake on a baking tray in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly.

Grate the garlic into the mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper, a little lemon juice and the cayenne pepper.

Dress the potatoes and green beans in a little salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest and olive oil. Toss together with the watercress and herbs and spread out on four plates.

Break the cooked salmon up and place on the dressed beans and potatoes. Serve with a spoonful of the garlicky mayo dolloped on top.

Tip: If you don’t like garlic, try flavoring the mayo with a little mustard instead.

we have guests staying this weekend and this sounds like the perfect dish. however, our oven is not working and may not be replaced in time... is there another way I could do the salmon - perhaps wrapped in foil in the electric frypan with the lid on for 15 mins - would that work?
