Pan-Roasted Salmon with Caper Butter

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes or until soft when pierced with a knife. In the same pot, add the green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes or until bright green and crunchy. Drain the vegetables and refresh under cold water.

Meanwhile, season both sides of the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a little olive oil in an ovenproof pan over a high heat. Place the salmon in the pan skin side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Turn the salmon over and place the pan in the oven for a further 5 minutes.

When the salmon is almost cooked, remove it from the oven and stir in the butter. Place the pan over a low heat. Once the butter has melted add in the lemon juice and spoon the pan juices over the salmon before removing it from the pan. Take the pan off the heat, add the dill and the capers and season with a bit of pepper.
