Directions

  • Rub the salmon fillets with the vegetable oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat an ovenproof frying pan until hot and add the salmon fillets
  • skin-side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes
  • then carefully turn over and place the pan into the oven for 4-5 minutes
  • or until the salmon is just cooked through.
  • Heat another frying pan until hot and add a splash of vegetable oil. Fry the chorizo over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes
  • or until golden-brown and aromatic.
  • Add the new potatoes to the pan
  • then add a tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato butter and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the broad beans and cook for further 3-4 minutes
  • then squeeze over the lemon juice.
  • To serve
  • divide the chorizo
  • potato and broad bean mixture equally among four serving plates and place a salmon fillet on top of each.
