Ingredients
Potato Salad
- 100g baby potatoes, halved

- 1/4 courgette, peeled into ribbons
- 25g mesclun

Cook for about 15 minutes, until tender. Trim asparagus ends and slice 3cm. Add to pot for final 3 minutes of cook time. Drain well and return vegetables to pot.
-
Pat salmon dry and remove any pin bones. Season salmon with measure of fennel & lemon salt. Heat a dry medium frypan on medium-high heat. Cook salmon, skin side down, for about 3 minutes, until skin is crispy and releases from pan. Use a fish slice to press on fleshy side of salmon to ensure all skin is touching the pan. Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Keep warm.
