This colourful dish incorporates a wonderful range of delicate flavours, and looks great too!

What you need

50 g butter
3 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
175 g Scottish salmon fillets
50 g baby carrots, scrubbed and trimmed
50 g fine green beans, cut into 2 1/2 cm lengths
50 g mange-tout, trimmed
50 g asparagus spears
50 g broccoli florets
2 courgettes trimmed and sliced
25 g butter
50 g button mushrooms, wiped and halved
20 g shallots, peeled and finely chopped
150 ml dry white wine
150 ml double cream
2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp cornflour
seasoning
50 g cooked peeled prawns
6 tsp chopped fresh chervil
To garnish
4 sprigs fresh chervil

Method

  1. Melt butter in a pan with the lemon juice.

  2. Preheat a medium grill. Place the salmon on a piece of lightly greased foil, brush over the melted butter. Grill for 6-8 min, basting occasionally, until fish flakes easily.

  3. Meanwhile, place the prepared carrots, beans, mange-tout, asparagus, broccoli and courgettes in a metal colander or steamer over a pan of simmering water. Cover, bring to boil then simmer for 4-5 min or until tender. Keep warm.

  4. Melt remaining butter in a pan. Add mushrooms and saute for 1-2 min or until tender. Remove from pan and keep warm. Add shallots to pan and saute for 1-2 min until softened. Add wine to pan, simmer until reduced by half. Remove from heat and add the cream to the pan.

  5. Mix the lemon juice with the cornflour to form a smooth paste. Then stir into the pan. Season. Add prawns and chervil. Simmer for 1 min, or until just warmed through and thickened slightly.

  6. Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to a large warmed serving platter with the steamed vegetables and mushrooms. Pour over the wine sauce and serve.
