Ingredients

4 serv.
  • skinless salmon fillets4

    about 175g/6oz

  • lime1
  • clear honey3 tbsp tbsp
  • wholegrain mustard1 tbsp tbsp
  • butter beans3 x 410g cans cans

    rinsed

  • butter25g g
  • crème fraîche5 tbsp tbsp
  • garlic clove1

    crushed

  • rocket100g bag g

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Set the grill to its highest setting. Put the salmon fillets flesh-side up and evenly spaced in a shallow flameproof dish. Finely grate the zest of the lime into a bowl, then squeeze in the juice and stir in the honey, mustard and a good sprinkling of salt. Pour the mixture over the salmon and grill, without turning, for 5-6 minutes until it’s golden on top and cooked through (check the centre with a fork).

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, tip the beans into a saucepan and add the butter, crème fraîche, garlic and plenty of salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to moderate and coarsely mash everything together – a wooden spoon or a masher will do the job – until hot and bubbling. This only takes a few minutes as the beans are already cooked.Tip in the rocket and stir into the mash until it’s hot and just wilted.

  3. 3

    Serve the salmon on the mash, drizzled with the cooking juices.
