Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, crushed to a paste
- Green Bean: 400g green beans, trimmed and halved
- Lemon: 1 lemon
- Creme Fraiche: 200g half-fat creme fraiche
- New Potato: cooked baby new potatoes, to serve
- Salmon Fillet: 4 salmon fillets
- Tarragon: small pack tarragon, leaves only, chopped
Directions
- Zest the lemon and cut into wedges. Mix together the creme fraiche, tarragon, garlic, lemon zest and a squeeze of juice, season to taste and set aside.
- Bring a large shallow pan of salted water to the bowl and cook the green beans for 3 mins until just done. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain and cool under cold running water before tossing with the creme fraiche mixture.
- Bring the pan back to the boil, then turn the heat down to a very gentle simmer and slide in the salmon pieces. Poach for 8-10 mins or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and put on kitchen paper before plating up. Serve with the green beans and baby new potatoes.
