Cooking Steps
1
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.
- Place in a pot, cover with water and season with salt.
- Bring to the boil and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander (reserving a little cooking water) and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or cooking water. Mash until smooth. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
2
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
3
- Place a separate pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the shallot until softened, 4-5 mins.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 secs.
- Pour in half a sachet of apple cider vinegar (per 2P) and allow to evaporate.
4
- Add 1 tsp flour (per 2P) to the pot and mix well to incorporate.
- Stir in 100ml water (per 2P) along with the stock.
- Bring to the boil. Lower the heat and mix in 1 tbsp butter (per 2P).
- Simmer until the butter has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, 1-2 mins.
- Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
TIP: If necessary, reheat the sauce just before serving.
5
- Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Toss the salmon with Cajun spice, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the salmon to the pan, skin-side down.
- Cook for 4-5 mins, turn over, and cook for 3-4 mins on the other side. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the centre.
- When 2 mins of cooking time remain, add the peas to the pan and allow to warm through.
6
- Divide the colcannon between plates.
- Serve the Cajun salmon and peas alongside.
- Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the salmon.
