Salmon

- 2 Salmon Fillets
- tbs soft cheese
- tbs spoon pesto
- 1 lemon zest
- a slice of bread for breadcrumbs

Crushed Minted Potato and Peas

- 5 small potatoes

- a small cup of frozen peas

- tsp of mint sauce

- tsp butter 

Lemon Brocolli and Aparagus 

- 8 to 10 aparegus stems 

- 8 broccoli stems

- 1 lemon juice 

- tbs olive oil

1. Cut the potatoes into 4 and put them in a pot and begin to boil on a full heat.
2. Put the oven on gas mark 6.  Place the salmon on a baking tray skin side down.  
3. Mix the pesto and soft cheese together and place on top of the salmon.  Put the slice of bread in a food processor to make the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the salmon pushing it slightly into the pesto mix. Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top.  Put in the oven for 20 mins.
4. Break the ends of the asparagus to get rid of the bitter taste.  Place the broccoli stems and the asparagus in a frying pan.  Add a little water in the pan and cover with a lid so they steam cook.

POUR YOURSELF A GLASS OF WHITE WINE AND ENJOY IT FOR 10 MINUTES!

    5. Add the peas to the boiling potatoes.  Allow boiling for a couple of minutes so the frozen peas thaw.  

    6. Drain the potatoes and peas then add the butter and mint sauce and use a potato crusher to roughly 

        smash everything together.

    7. The broccoli and asparagus should be steam cooked.  Drain the water and add the olive oil and 

        lemon juice allowing for the greens to soak up that zesty flavour.

    8. Finally take out your salmon from the over.  Lets plate up!!!
