No.1 Wild Sockeye Salmon, fished in well-managed Alaskan waters, is rich and distinctive. Balance it with sweet seasonal roasted fennel and a zesty mound of mashed, fibre-packed beans. Next time, try flageolet or butter beans for the mash instead.

1 large or 2 small fennel bulbs
2½ tbsp olive oil
220g pack No.1 Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Fillets, skin removed
1 small leek, finely sliced
1 clove/s garlic, crushed
400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
150ml Cooks' Ingredients Vegetable Stock
½ lemon, zest and juice

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Trim the fronds from the fennel and set aside. Cut the bulbs into thin wedges, removing any tough pieces of core. Toss with 1 tbsp oil, season, spread out on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes. Brush the salmon with ½ tbsp oil, season, add to the baking tray and roast for 10 minutes more.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the leek and garlic, then cover and sweat gently for 5 minutes. Add the beans and stock, simmer uncovered for 2 minutes, then squeeze in the lemon juice. Roughly crush with a potato masher or the back of a fork.
Divide the mash between plates, then top with the fennel, salmon, lemon zest and a sprinkle of fennel fronds.

Cook’s tip

If you have friends over midweek, try topping each plate with a dollop of No.1 Cornish Crab Topper – a mix of crab, cream and lemon with herbs – or fold it through the beans when ready.
