    Roasted salmon & green beans with tarragon cream

    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Cooking time: 15 minutes
    • Total time: 25 minutes 25 minutes

    Serves: 2

    Ingredients

    200g trimmed fine green beans
    2 Scottish salmon fillets
    6 strands saffron
    2 tsp olive oil
    1 shallot, finely chopped
    1 tbsp double cream
    1/2 tsp English mustard
    1 tsp finely chopped fresh tarragon

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Using a steamer set over a pan of boiling water, steam the green beans for 15 minutes, or boil until just tender.

    2. Meanwhile, season the salmon on a foil-lined baking tray and roast for 15 minutes, or until cooked through and opaque. Pour 120ml just-boiled water over the saffron and set aside.

    3. In a medium frying pan, warm the oil over a medium heat. Sauté the shallot for 1 minute until soft, then pour in the saffron water. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cream, mustard and tarragon. Add another 1 tbsp water and simmer for 4-5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened. Season.

    4. Divide the sauce and beans between 2 plates, top with a salmon fillet and season with black pepper to serve.
