A succulent salmon dish served with the best vegetables summer has to offer from Sacla' for the Real Food Festival

Serves 2

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 x 150g salmon fillets
  • 3 tbsp chargrilled aubergine pesto
  • 150g baby new potatoes
  • 100g asparagus, halved widthways
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper

Method: How to make chargrilled aubergine pesto salmon

1. Spread the chargrilled aubergine pesto onto the salmon and set aside to marinate.

2. Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water for 10 minutes until they are almost tender.

3. Add the asparagus and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until it’s cooked through but still slightly crisp. Drain the vegetables well and return to the pan.

4. Stir in the red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and some salt and pepper. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the flavours to blend.

5. Meanwhile, heat up a griddle pan. Cook the salmon over a high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until it’s nicely browned but still pink in the middle.

6. Lay the salmon fillets next to the warm summer salad and serve.
