Serves: 4 person(s)
Yield: 4 x fillets

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

7 oz green beans, fresh or frozen
8 small baby red gourmet potatoes, skin on
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
0.40 tsp wholegrain mustard
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 pinch each of salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 oz avocado, peeled and sliced
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
4 small salmon fillets (about 4 oz each)
1 pinch of freshly ground black pepper, extra

Directions:

PARSLEY POTATOES: In a saucepan, bring water to a boil; place potatoes in boiling water. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Add parsley. Keep lid on saucepan; set aside.

AVOCADO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD: Steam green beans until bright green and tender crisp. Refresh under cold running water. Drain well. Place the green beans and onion in a medium bowl. Add mustard and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add avocado slices, sprinkle lemon juice over and toss gently to combine.

SALMON: Preheat grill on medium-high. Spray the salmon fillets with cooking spray and season with black pepper. Cook fish on preheated grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking.

Divide the green bean salad among serving plates, top with the salmon, and serve with parsley potatoes.
