Baked Salmon with Peas and Butter Beans

This is the salmon recipe of your dreams and it doesn’t get easier than this recipe. All it takes is baking the salmon and sautéing the beans. That’s pretty much it. Good ...right?

Some suggestions:

· Making sure your salmon is juicy and flaky is essential and works well as long as the oven has been preheated and its at 200-210C fan forced. Do not leave it longer than what is suggested but you can take it out earlier.

· While it’s an easy recipe for dinner, it’s also perfect for entertaining. Prepare the salmon prior then when guests arrive pop it in the oven. While its cooking, prepare the bean salad.

· Feel free to change up the spices and types of beans you use. The variety and versions are limitless. A personal favourite is adding crushed fresh garlic to this version. Why not try it?

· If you want to add a side dish, pair it with roasted cauliflower, cucumber salad, rice, quinoa or even couscous.
