Ingredients

• 1kg Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 6 Spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 tsp Vegetable oil
• 4 Salmon fillets
• 4 tbsp 1% Fat milk
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 250g Broccoli, broken into florets
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper

  

Method

1. Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 20 minutes, until tender, adding the spring onions to the saucepan 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
2. When the potatoes have been cooking for 10 minutes, start to prepare the salmon.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan, brushing it over the surface. Add the salmon, skin side down.
4. Cook over a high heat for 2-3 minutes, without moving the fillets.
5. Turn the salmon over, reduce the heat and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
6. At this point, put the broccoli on to cook in a little boiling water - it will take about 5-6 minutes.
7. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes while making the mash.
8. Drain the potatoes and spring onions and mash thoroughly.
9. Beat in the milk and parsley.
10. Reheat on the hob for 1 minute, beating well.
11. Share the mash between four warmed plates and arrange the salmon fillets on top.
12. Serve with the broccoli.
