Recipe: Salmon with fancy potato salad

Our friends at the Saucy Fish Company have shared their super-duper Salmon with Potato Salad recipe with us today.

This isn;t just any potato salad either - its rocket and crème fraîche dressing served with potato, courgette and raddish

The best part of this recipe is its low-fat, high in protein and healthy as hell and has been recommended by leading nutritionist Sarah Schenker.

Its even better if you can replace the creme fraiche with a low fat alternative, and replace the butter with Soya alternatives if you're dairy-free.

What you’ll need, serves 2:

• 2 salmon fillets

• 150ml crème fraiche (use low fat alternatives where available in your local health store)

• Handful of chopped parsley

• 300g new potatoes, washed and halved

• 1 pinch of salt

• 2 courgettes, top and tailed

• 2 radishes, top and tailed

• A large knob of butter (or replace with Soya butter)

• Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to season

• ½ lemon, to zest

How You Make It:

Step 1: Place the salmon fillets on a baking tray in the centre of a preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes.

Step 2: Meanwhile, thinly slice the courgettes and radishes and set them aside for later.

Step 3: Boil up a pan of baby potatoes – leaving the skins on for extra rustic texture.

Step 4: Once the potatoes are done, drain and dollop a knob of butter on top. At this point, if you want to get really 'chef-like', you can add some thinly sliced chives.

Step 5: Ribbon your courgettes and radishes, adding only the courgettes to a griddle pan on a high heat. Make your mark by pressing down gently for chargrilled stripes.

Step 6: For the dressing, mix the crème fraiche and rocket in a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and pepper, finishing with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon

Step 7: Mix together the potatoes, chargrilled courgettes and sliced radish and toss before serving onto your plates. Top this with salmon and drizzle with the creamy dressing.
