Seared Salmon and Potato Salad

This is a really simple dish to prepare.  You can sort out the salad ingredients beforehand in the kitchen, then sear the salmon on the BBQ when you are ready to eat.  Mix it all together and you’re ready to serve!

Ingredients

• 8 small new potatoes
• 24 fresh green beans
• 600g salmon fillets, with the bones removed
• 16 ripe cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half

GRAIN MUSTARD DRESSING

• 1/3 cup of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon grain mustard
• 1/4 cup finely chopped dill
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Steam or boil the potatoes until just cooked, then cut in half.  Steam or boil the green beans and refresh in some iced water to maintain colour and stop further cooking.

Preheat your BBQ and cook the salmon for about 2 minutes each side (it should still be very rare).  Remove the salmon from the grill and set aside to rest in a warm place, loosely covered with foil for 15 minutes.  It will continue to cook whilst resting.

Mix the dressing ingredients together in a large shallow serving bowl.  Add the tomatoes, potatoes and green beans and mix through.  Break the salmon into large chunks and mix it through the vegetables and the dressing.

Serve immediately.
