Salmon Fillet with Lemon and Anchovy Dressing

 



Serves 4

Prep and cook time: 20 mins

Preheat oven to 180c, fan 160c

This is a quick, easy and very healthy meal! The sauce also goes well with chicken and can be kept for a week in the fridge if covered. Salmon isn't that filling so prep lots of veg and potatoes to go alongside!

Extra virgin oil is used for dressings as is a bit heavier and more flavourful than olive oil


Equipment 

garlic crusher

roasting or frying pan to cook salmon

Pan for potatoes and veg with lids

fork 

sharp knife

bowl for making sauce


Ingredients

4 salmon fillets

600g New potatoes 

A large clove of garlic

A handful of fresh parsley

2 Anchovy fillets

1 lemon

3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to season


Method

Begin by boiling a kettle. 

Chop any large potatoes in half and place potatoes in pan. 

Cover in boilng water sprinkle with a little salt place lid on and bring to boil. Turn down to a simmer for 10 mins until a knife gently slides easily into the potato. Drain and keep warm.

Whilst potatoes cooking, place fillets in a roasting tin or frying pan that has an oven proof handle. Smear with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Place in the oven for 10 mins.

Meanwhile, place green beans or veg of choice in a pan, cover with boiling water sprinkle a little salt and cook for 6-8 mins until slightly crunchy yet cooked. Then use a colander or seive to drain and place back in pan with lid on to wait.


During cooking time prep the sauce. Using a fork mash anchovy fillets and place in bowl with finely grated zest of the lemon, the juice of the lemon **Tip at end**, crushed garlic, 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. 



Chop the parsley finely and add in with salt and pepper to season. Give a good stir. If too lemony add a little more oil.

When the salmon is cooked plate up with potatoes and beans and drizzle the sauce over the fish.

Enjoy!

**Tip** I half, then squeeze the lemon over the bowl in one hand holding the other underneath to collect pips. To get maximum juice I turn the lemon skin inside out
