Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper and add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Cut the potato to the correct size so it cooks in the allocated time.

2

While the potato is roasting, roughly chop the pistachios. Cut the zucchini into 1cm chunks. Trim the green beans and cut in half. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Slice the lemon (see ingredients list) into wedges.

3

Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pistachios and toast, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the zucchini and green beans and cook until just tender, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm.

5

On a plate, combine the plain flour, lemon pepper spice blend and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towel, then add to the flour mixture and turn to coat. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the salmon, skin-side down first, to the pan and cook until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). TIP: Salmon can be served slightly blushing in the middle. TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!

6

Divide the lemon pepper salmon, roast potato, zucchini and beans between plates. Top the salmon with a dollop of creamy pesto dressing and sprinkle the pistachios over the veggies. Serve with the lemon wedges. Enjoy! TIP: For the low-calorie option, serve with 1/2 the creamy pesto dressing.
