Sizzling Salmon with Bean Mash

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless salmon fillets about 175g/6oz
  • 1 lime
  • 3 tbsp clear honey
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 3 x 410g cans butter beans rinsed
  • 25g butter
  • 5 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 100g bag rocket

Method

  1. Position the grill on its highest setting. Arrange the salmon fillets, flesh-side up, in a single layer within a shallow flameproof dish. Finely grate the lime zest into a separate bowl, then squeeze in the juice. Mix in the honey, mustard and a generous pinch of salt. Pour this glaze over the salmon and grill for 5-6 minutes, without turning, until the top is golden and the fish is cooked through. test the centre with a fork.
  2. While the salmon cooks, place the rinsed beans in a saucepan with the butter, crème fraîche, crushed garlic, and plenty of salt and pepper. Heat and coarsely mash the contents together using a wooden spoon or masher until hot and bubbling, which takes just a few minutes as the beans are pre-cooked. Add the entire bag of rocket and stir it into the hot mash until it has wilted.
  3. Plate the creamy bean mash and place the grilled salmon fillets on top. Finish by drizzling over the delicious cooking juices from the dish.
