I’ve always loved salmon, there is something about a well cooked fish that just makes me happy, well I knew going to a resturant wasn’t that easy, so thought why not bring the restuarant in my house. The flavour, presentation definately makes it all worth while. Well with this recipe you need to be able to multi-task.

Ingredients:

• Salmon fillet
• Irish potatoes
• Carrots cut lenght wise
• Green beans
• Fresh dill
• Clove of garlic
• Butter
• Salt/pepper
• Olive oil
• 2 Tbsp milk

Method:

1. Start by peeling the potatoes and carrots, in a medium size pot add the potatoes and carrots and boil in salted water until well cooked, and just before you drain of the water add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, then drain of the water. Take out the carrots and green beans and set them aside. When water has been drained of from the potatoes add a good bit of butter and milk and mash till smooth, taste for salt and set aside in a bowl under war bath.

3. For the salmon dab of excess moisture with a kitchen paper, salt and pepper while the pan is warming up, when hot enough drizzle some olive oil till just smoking, then add salmon skin side down, press down for a few seconds, to avoid it raising on the sides.
