This recipe is a personal favourite - it is from the "Delicious" (ABC) recipe book; it is simple and quick and beautiful for a summery lunch / dinner party.

4 salmon fillets - cut into chunks
extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (eg parsley, chives, dill)
1 bunch fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed
125g green beans, stalks trimmed
1 butter lettuce, washed and dried
lemon juice

Blanch asparagus spears and beans in a pan of boiling water for 1 min, then refresh in cold water and set aside.

Rub salmon in olive oil and roll in the chopped herbs. Heat oil in a fry pan over high heat, add the salmon and cook.

Arrange lettuce leaves, asparagus and beans on serving plates, add the salmon chunks and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Ooooo that sounds delicious alright! I tell you what though, a recipe I stole from "Sydney Cafe" is Tandoori Salmon with Parmasan & Basil Mash with Asparagus! Delish! Had it there years ago and had to come home and make it for myself Very simple just use some tandoori paste, and mix with yoghurt (all the info is on the jar) and cook the salmon on a rack in the oven...I usually use cake airer trays on a slab tin. Cook half the time or less to what they say for Chicken...I would say around 10-15 mins with the basil & parmasan mash, simple really just make regular mash potato add as much or as little fresh basil and grated parma as you like and then just steam some asparagus and you're all done And its DELISH!

I think I will definitely have to have some salmon this week though Your recipe sounds DIVINE!
