Equipment: Baking tray; saucepan; frying pan

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (fresh or frozen and defrosted)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g green beans, trimmed
  • Knob of butter (about 25g)
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • ½ lemon
  • Salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Place the salmon on a lined tray, drizzle with the oil, season, and roast for 12–14 minutes, until just cooked.
  2. Meanwhile, boil or steam the green beans for 4–5 minutes, until just tender, then drain.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan, add the garlic, and toss the beans through for 1 minute.
  4. Serve the salmon with the buttered beans and a squeeze of lemon.

Swaps and tips

Frozen salmon fillets are inexpensive and just as nutritious — defrost overnight in the fridge. Swap green beans for broccoli or asparagus.
