Pesto is quite a strong flavour, but I think it goes with Salmon just excellently. You can do whatever veg you like with it, but this is the meal I prepared last night.
Ingredients
- 2x Salmon fillet (steaks if you have lots of money!)
- Small jar of Pesto
- 4-5 British potatoes
- A courgette
- Milk
- Butter
- About 4 cloves of Garlic
Instructions
Prepare the Salmon by using a spoon to spread Pesto sauce on top in a thin layer (or if you really love Pesto, a thick layer!). Add a touch of salt & pepper. Slice courgettes, and dice up the garlic into tiny little bits, or use a garlic press… Peel and chop up potatoes into quarters.
Boil potatoes as normal until soft (I usually boil them slightly longer so they fall apart a bit easier). Mash with a tad of milk (or cream if you feel adventurous!), and butter. Salmon should be grilled for some time – I’m not sure how long as I undercooked ours last night, but use common sense here! Finally, fry the courgettes in butter for a minute or so, add the garlic, and turn up medium-high.
It’s a simple dish, but I still managed to undercook the salmon, oops!! Very tasty though.
