WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- To make the anchovy dressing: pound the garlic with the anchovies to a paste, add the oil (use some of the oil from the can of anchovies, if you prefer) and vinegar, and season with pepper. Whisk to make a thick dressing.
- Add the green beans to a pan of boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain well and cool in iced water. Meanwhile, slice the fennel as finely as you can. Put into a bowl and stir in the beans and the chopped parsley.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat for a couple of minutes. Cut each salmon fillet in half, brush with oil and season well. Fry the salmon pieces, skin-side down, for around 30 seconds. Then turn on to their sides and cook for 2 minutes more. Turn them all over and cook for another minute until just tender but still pink in the middle. Remove from the pan and set aside for a couple of minutes, while you arrange slices of potato and the fennel salad on serving plates. Place pieces of fish on top of each plate and spoon the dressing over.
