- 2 tbsp gluten-free mustard

Salmon courgetti

serves 2


Ingredients:

- 2 pieces of salmon fillet
- 1 courgette
- juice from ½ a lemon
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- handful of runner beans 
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- seasoning

Method:

Heat the coconut oil in a pan, season the salmon with lemon juice, soy sauce and seasoning. Then fry the salmon for 4 mins each side until golden and the flesh flakes easily. Leave to rest on a plate while you prepare the beans and courgetti.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the beans for 4-5 mins. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to make the spaghetti from the courgettes. This is the courgetti. Add the courgetti to the pan of cooked beans and then drain immediately. By doing this you are blanching the cougetti in the bean water.

Serve the salmon on top of the beans and courgetti.
