Ingredients
- 250g new potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 50g pitted black olives, finely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
- zest of ½ lemon, then cut the lemon into wedges
- 2 x 200g salmon fillets
- 1 x 200g pack green beans, trimmed
- 200g baby plum or cherry tomatoes, halved
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 200 ̊C, fan 180 ̊C, gas 6.
- Put the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil, cook for 5 minutes until the potatoes are part cooked. Lift out with a slotted spoon, leaving the water on the heat to be used later. Leave the potatoes to cool a little then slice into rounds. Lay in a single layer on a large roasting tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and season. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, lower the eggs into the pan of water. Set a timer for 61⁄2 minutes and leave to boil gently.
- While the eggs are cooking, mix the olives with the garlic, 1⁄2 tablespoon of oil and the lemon zest. Set aside.
- Drain the eggs and cool under cold water. Take the potatoes out of the oven, flip them over; nestle the salmon in the centre. Pile the olive mix on top of the salmon and press down lightly. Scatter the green beans and tomatoes around the salmon, drizzle over 1⁄2 tablespoon of oil and season. Return to the oven for 10 minutes until the salmon and beans are just cooked through.
- Peel the eggs and cut them in half. Divide the potatoes, beans and tomatoes between 2 plates. Top with the salmon and eggs and serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over.
