Serves 4
200g/7oz green beans
20 small red cherry tomatoes
1-2 good handfuls of black olives
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 x 225g/8oz thick salmon fillet steaks, with or without skin but definitely pinboned
2 lemons
1 handful fresh basil
12 anchovy fillets
1 Tail the green beans, blanch them until tender in salted, boiling water and drain. Put in a bowl with the cherry tomatoes and the stoned olives. Toss in the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2 Preheat the oven and roasting tray at the highest temperature. Give the salmon fillets a quick wash under the tap and pat them dry with kitchen paper. Squeeze the juice of a 1/2 lemon over the fillets, on both sides, then season both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Put the salmon at one end of the roasting tray.
3 Toss the basil into the green beans, etc and place this mixture at the other end of the roasting tray. Lay the anchovies over the green beans. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and serve with lemon quarters.
Very tasty with some homemade mayonnaise or aioli.
