Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Peel and slice the potatoes into ½ cm thick rounds.
- Place a medium pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the garlic for 1 min. Add the potato, muscat, 125ml water (double for 4p) and creme fraiche. Season with pepper and ¼ tsp salt (double for 4p).
2
- Give everything a good stir. Bring to the boil then cover and reduce the heat to medium.
- Simmer until the potatoes are parboiled, 15-20 mins. Gently stir every so often to prevent sticking.
- When the potatoes are ready, transfer them to an appropriately-sized oven dish.
- Place on the top shelf of the oven and bake until the potatoes are cooked through, 15-20 mins.
3
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the pesto, breadcrumbs and cheese.
- Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw fish.
- Spread the mixture over the fish, pressing it down with the back of a spoon.
4
- Carefully place the salmon onto a lined baking tray and drizzle with a little oil.
- Bake in the oven until cooked through, 15-20 mins. IMPORTANT: Salmon is cooked when opaque in the middle.
5
- Meanwhile, place a large pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Halve the lemon.
- Cut the broccoli into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets.
- Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the broccoli and fry for 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water and squeeze of lemon juice.
- Immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the broccoli is tender, 4-5 mins. Once cooked, remove from the heat.
6
- Finish the broccoli with a squeeze of lemon.
- Plate up the salmon with the potato dauphinoise and tender broccoli alongside.
- Top with any remaining lemon, cut into wedges.
