Grilled salmon with lemon courgettes

Salmon is always best when kept simple to let its flavour speak for itself. Serve with courgettes with a citrus twist

  • 2 handfuls of small, salad potato , skin on
  • olive oil for frying
  • 2 salmon fillets , skin on
  • 4 courgettes , sliced
  • 1 garlic clove , crushed
  • 1 lemon , zested and juiced
  • 2 handfuls of basil leaves

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until tender. Drain, cool a little and halve. Heat 1/ 2 tbsp olive oil in a separate pan and add the courgettes. Stir and fry for 3 minutes until they start to brown at the edges.
  2. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until fragrant. Season and add the lemon juice - they should be very lemony. Stir through the basil and potato halves.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Cook the salmon fillets skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crisp, then turn over and cook for 1 minute. Serve the courgettes with the salmon.
