Ingredients
- 300g baby new potatoes, halved
- ½ tbsp oil
- 2 salmon fillets, skinned
- 1 echalion shallot, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 150ml fish or vegetable stock*
- 125g drained artichoke antipasto
- 75g lighter soft cheese
- zest of ½ lemon, plus 1 tbsp juice
- 100g rainbow chard, roughly chopped, or other leafy greens
- 20g Parmesan, grated
Step by step
- Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for 15-17 minutes, or until tender. Drain, return to the pan and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat ½ tablespoon of oil (use the oil from the artichoke jar for extra flavour) in a lidded non-stick frying pan. Season the salmon and sear over a high heat for 2 minutes each side until golden (it will finish cooking in the sauce). Set aside on a plate.
- Reduce the heat, add the shallot and garlic and cook gently for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the stock and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Roughly chop the artichokes and stir into the pan along with the soft cheese and lemon zest. Add the chard, cover and allow to wilt for 3 minutes. Nestle in the salmon fillets and simmer gently, covered for 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through. Remove from the heat and carefully stir the Parmesan into the sauce around the salmon until melted. Check the seasoning to taste.
-
Season the potatoes with salt and sprinkle over the lemon juice. Serve with the creamy artichoke salmon.
*Check your stock is gluten-free, if required.
