Instructions / Directions
Serves: 4Super light and full of flavor this Salmon Niçoise is a modern twist on a French classic.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Lay the salmon onto a roasting tray. Drizzle with a little of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and scatter half the thyme over the top.
- Place in the oven to roast for 20 minutes until golden and cooked through. The fish will flake when pressed gently.
- Meanwhile, while fish is cooking, tip the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with water and set over a high heat. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes until nearly tender.
- Add the green beans and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the beans and potatoes are tender.
- Peel shells from soft-boiled eggs once cool. Cut in half and set aside.
- Pour the remaining olive oil into a large bowl, add the mustard, lemon zest and juice and whisk until combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Add the cooked potatoes and green beans, red onion, tomatoes and olives and toss lightly to combine.
- Serve alongside the roasted salmon, with the last of the thyme leaves scattered over the top.
