Sizzling salmon with bean mash

This salmon comes together quickly, but it still feels polished because the lime, honey and mustard glaze turns glossy under the grill. Underneath, the warm bean mash gives the dish enough substance to count as a full meal rather than just a piece of fish.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 8 min

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets – 4
• Lime – 1
• Clear honey – 3 tbsp
• Wholegrain mustard – 1 tbsp
• Butter beans – 3 x 410 g cans, rinsed
• Butter – 25 g
• Crème fraîche – 5 tbsp
• Garlic – 1 clove, crushed
• Rocket – 100 g
• Salt – to taste
• Black pepper – to taste

Method

step 1
Set the grill to high. Mix the lime zest and juice with the honey, mustard and a little salt, then pour this over the salmon fillets in a shallow dish.
step 2
Grill the salmon for 5 to 6 minutes without turning until the top is glossy and the centre is just cooked. Leaving it undisturbed helps the glaze settle into a shiny layer instead of sliding off.
step 3
Meanwhile warm the butter beans in a saucepan with the butter, crème fraîche and garlic. Mash them coarsely rather than perfectly smooth, because a little texture makes the dish feel more generous and rustic.
step 4
Stir the rocket through the hot bean mash until it wilts. Taste and season well, then spoon the mash onto plates and set the salmon on top.
step 5
Finish with the cooking juices from the dish. That last spoonful carries the lime and mustard flavour over the beans and ties the whole plate together.
