Ingredients
  • 2 x 200g Salmon fillet, middle cut pieces are better
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • sea salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tarragon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon rind, finely grated
  • 4 washed potatoes cut into chunks
  • 4 baby beetroot cut into similar size chunks as potato
  • 400g green beans, tops trimmed
  • ¼ cup plain yoghurt
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish
  • juice of the lemon
Instructions
  1. Pre heat oven to 170 degrees
  2. Place the salmon on a baking tray and spread 1 tablespoon of mustard on each fillet and season with salt and pepper
  3. Mix the herbs and lemon rind in a small bowl to combine
  4. Dividing the herb mix in two, pat the herbs on top of the salmon in thick layer
  5. Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes depending on how thick your fish is. If you use tails, they will only take about 12 minutes
  6. Steam or boil the beetroot and potatoes in separate pans until tender, about 12 minutes
  7. Drizzle the beans with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, add them to the baking tray half way through cooking the fish.
  8. To make the sauce, combine the yoghurt, sour cream, horseradish, salt and pepper and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
  9. Drain the potatoes and toss with a little of the sauce.
  10. Arrange the fish, beans, beetroot and potatoes and enjoy!
