Ingredients

2 Persons

FOR THE POTATOES:

400 g

new potatoes
15 g

butter
1 tbsp

finely chopped basil

FOR THE SALMON:

15 g

parsley
2 tbsp

Instant Oats
0.25

lemon, zest finely grated
2 tsp

olive oil

salt

2 tsp

wholegrain mustard
2

salmon fillets
150 g

frozen peas

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 180C / 350 F fan (200C / 400F non-fan).
2

Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water and a pinch of salt. Place over a high heat and bring to the boil then turn down to simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes then crush with a potato masher so they’re still chunky. Add the butter and basil then season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
3

Blend the parsley, oats, lemon zest, olive oil, salt and 1 tsp of the mustard until finely chopped. Brush the tops of the salmon fillets with the remaining mustard then press the parsley crust on. Place onto a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until the fish easily flakes apart and is cooked through.
4

Cover the peas with boiling water in a bowl, let them sit for a minute then drain.
5

Serve the salmon with the peas and potatoes.
