Method
- Mix zest of half a lemon and 1 tsp of chilli powder with a squeeze of lemon juice and spread on both sides of salmon fillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the oil to a frying pan, then cook the bacon until crispy. Push to one side of the pan, then add the salmon.
- Cook on one side until you can see the fish is cooked a third of the way through, then flip to other side and watch until it’s cooked another third of the way through, approx. 8-10 mins in total.
Cook the beans in a pan of salted boiling water, drain, then add to the frying pan with the salmon and bacon. - Turn off heat, spritz with about 1tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice and leave in pan for 2-5 mins. The salmon will continue to cook through in the pan.
- Serve with new potatoes, tossed in butter and pepper, green beans and bacon, mustard mayo and a wedge of lemon.
