Cooking Steps

Boil the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 
  • Boil a pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Halve the potatoes (quarter larger potatoes). 
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water, lower heat to medium and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins. Once cooked, reserve 50ml of the water (per 2P), drain the potatoes and pop into a bowl. 

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Make the Crumb
2
  • Meanwhile, finely bash or chop the hazelnuts.
  • In a bowl mix breadcrumbs, hazelnuts, salt and pepper.
  • Pat the salmon with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish.
  • Arrange the fillets, skin-side down, on a lined baking tray. Spread a layer of mayo over the top.
  • Spoon equal amounts of the breadcrumb mix onto each fillet. Press down firmly with the back of the spoon to ensure it adheres.
Cook the Salmon
3
  • Drizzle oil over the crumbed salmon.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until the fish is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden, 15-20 mins. IMPORTANT: Salmon is cooked when opaque in the middle.

NOTE: Swapping to basa? Crumb and season as instructed. Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins.

Prep the Potatoes
4
  • When the potatoes are cooked, return the empty pot to medium-high heat with a knob of butter.
  • Once hot, fry the garlic and half a sachet of Italian herbs (per 2P) until fragrant, 30 secs. 
  • Add the drained potatoes, stock, creme fraiche and reserved cooking water.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced and creamy, 2-5 mins. 
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper. Loosen with a splash of water if necessary.
Boil the Veg
5
  • Boil a separate pot of salted water for the veg.
  • Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
  • Trim and halve the green beans
  • Once boiling, add the green beans and carrot and cook until just tender, 4-6 mins.
  • Drain and return to the pot. Toss with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil
Dish Up
6
  • Divide the crumbed salmon between plates.
  • Serve with veg and creamy potatoes alongside.
