Cooking Instructions and Tips

Finely dice shallot
1

Boil a large pot of water for your potatoes. Chop 1½ tbsp of dill. Peel and dice the garlic. Finally, dice the shallot really finely.

2

Cook the potatoes in the boiling water for around 10-15 mins or until you are able to easily slip a knife through them. At this point simply drain them and keep them to the side for later.

Mix dill into crème fraîche
3

Mix 4 tbsp of crème fraîche together with the zest of ¼ lemon and 1 tsp of lemon juice. Mix in as much of the diced shallot as you like (but keep 1 tbsp for the spinach!), the chopped dill, a sprinkle of salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Fry salmon skin-side down
4

Pre-heat your grill to high and put half a tbsp of oil in a non-stick pan on high heat. Season the salmon on both sides, place it skin side down in the pan and leave it for 4 mins. Next, put the pan under the grill on the top shelf (handle outwards, with the door open).

5

After 4-5 mins under the grill, the top of the fish will be cooked. Put the pan back on the hob on high heat for one minute (be careful of the hot handle). Add a tsp of butter (if you have some) and scoop it over the fish. Squeeze on 2 tsp of lemon juice, then remove the fish to a plate for later.

Add spinach
6

Once your salmon is removed, put the pan back on the hob. Add 1 tbsp of chopped shallot and the garlic. After one minute, add in the spinach and toss the ingredients for just under a minute. You only want to warm the spinach through rather than wilt it.

Finished dish
7

To serve, sprinkle a little salt and pepper on your potatoes. Top your pan-fried salmon with your crème fraîche mixture, serve the spinach on the side and tuck in.
