4 wild salmon fillets NOTE - replace with Portobello Mushroom for Vegan option

4 cubes of butter, ghee or vegan spread for the salmon and 2 tbsp for the green beans and asparagus

1 whole cauliflower, chopped into florets

100g cream cheese, or vegan cream cheese

1 garlic clove

250g green beans

200g asparagus

1 lemon

Extra virgin olive oil

Himalayan pink salt to taste

White pepper to taste

A few dill fronds to garnish

1 handful fresh chives, finely chopped to garnish

Preheat the oven to 200C. Transfer the salmon fillets to a parchment paper lined baking tray. Top each fillet with a cube of butter, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 20 mins. 

Add the cauliflower florets to a pan of boiling water and boil on a medium heat for 12 mins. Once cooked transfer florets to a blender. Add cream cheese, garlic and salt to taste. Blend until smooth. 

For the green beans and asparagus, melt 1 tbsp of butter in two separate pans on a medium heat. 

Add the vegetables to each pan, season with salt and pepper and cook for 8 mins, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Transfer to a serving platter. 

Top the salmon with slices of fresh lemon and dill fronds. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on the cauliflower mash and garnish with chives.
