    Cook’s tip The stringless helda beans are brilliant for quick and easy meals, as they don’t need preparing in the way runner beans do. However, you could easily use runner, green or even broad beans in this recipe instead. Try using hot smoked trout or mackerel in place of the salmon too, for something different.
