Salmon with Green Beans and Pesto

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 handfuls of green beans
• Salt and pepper
• 2 lemons
• 2 x 200g salmon fillets
• 2 tbsp green pesto
• Olive oil

Method

Preheat your oven to 200C
Trim your beans by cutting of the stalk ends but leave the wispy tips on
Put the beans into a large pan of boiling water with a pinch of salt and cook for 3 to 4 minutes
Halve one of the lemons
Get yourself just under a metre of kitchen foil and fold it in half to give you two layers
Put a handful of green beans in the middle of the foil
Lay a salmon fillet, skin side down, acrros the beans and spoon over a good tablespoon of green pesto
Drizzle with olive oil, squeeze over the juice from one of the lemon halves and season with salt and pepper
Pull the foil edges together and scrunch them up to seal the parcel
Repeat these steps to make your second salmon fillet parcel and place both foil parcels on a baking tray
Put the baking tray into your hot oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutees depending on the size of your fillets
Remove the tray from the oven and let it stand for a minute before carefully unwrapping and checking that the salmon is cooked through
Either serve the foil parcels on plates as they are, or carefully unwrap them before serving
Cut the remaining lemon in half and serve on the side for squeezing over
