peri-peri salmon on creamy greens
Ingredients (serves 2)

  • 1 tablespoon peri-peri seasoning rub
  • 2 x 150gr skinless salmon fillets
  • olive oil
  • 1 courgette, trimmed
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 200gr baby spinach leaves
  • 75gr soft cream cheese (I’ve used Philadelphia)
  • 15gr capers in brine, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to:

  1. Put the peri-peri on to a plate and dip in each salmon fillet, pressing down gently to coat on one side. Heat a non stick frying pan and when hot cook the salmon fillets for 3 minutes, each side.
  2. Meanwhile, using a potato peeler, cut the courgette into ribbons. Heat a frying pan with a bit of olive oil and cook the garlic, courgette ribbons and spinach for 2 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese and stir gently until smooth.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir through the capers, parsley, lemon zest and seasoning.
  4. Serve with baby potatoes.
