Grilled Salmon, Roasted Potatoes and Greens (3 serves of veg)

Serves 2
Time 35 minutes
Ingredients
2 medium potatoes - cut into 1cm cubes
300g Salmon fillets (skin on or off, that is a personal preference)
Plain flour
Olive oil
200g green beans
1 zucchini - cut into 1cm cubes
Garlic - as much as you like, minced.
1/4C of pinenuts
2 tbsp of mayonnaise
Salt and pepper
Lemon - grate the rind off.

Method
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees fan forced. If you are not sure, you can buy a thermometer for your oven as many oven temperatures are inaccurate.
2. Cut the potatoes into cubes, leaving the skin on for extra fibre (= gut healthy and good bowel motions).
3. Place potatoes on an oven proof tray, drizzle a good dose of olive oil and toss. Add a pinch of salt and crack pepper on top. Place in oven for 20-30 minutes.
4. Cut the zucchinis into squares similar to the potatoes. Trim your green beans, tops and bottoms. Use a garlic press to crush garlic.
5. In a dry pan, no oil that is, bring to a medium heat. Pop in the pine nuts. Roasting will only take a few minutes so don’t leave them alone - they’ll burn quickly. Once golden set aside in bowl.
6. Return pan to heat. Add olive oil. Add in the zucchini and beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic at the end.
7. Plate veggies.
8. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. You can coat in plain flour, cracked pepper and the rind of a lemon. Then return the pan to heat and add the salmon.
9. Grill until cooked through.
10. Plate the salmon, potatoes and greens. Add a dollop of mayonnaise.
