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.
