Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Leaving the skins on, cut the potatoes into fries and place on a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil, then season with the dried herbs, sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden, turning halfway through.
  2. Finely chop the chives. Cut the lemon into 6 wedges. Make the chive yoghurt; add three-quarters of the chives to a bowl with the yoghurt and a pinch of salt. Squeeze in the juice from 1 lemon wedge, then mix and reserve.
  3. Make the dressing; to a small bowl, add the mustard, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp honey and the juice from 2 lemon wedges. Season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then mix and reserve.
  4. Heat a small non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3 mins on each side. Transfer to an ovenproof dish (skin-side down) and bake for 7-8 mins or until cooked through.
  5. Prepare the salad; halve the tomatoes and thinly slice the cucumber. Place in a bowl with the mixed leaves and gently mix.
  6. Serve the salmon fillets and fries with the salad and chive yoghurt. Drizzle the salad with the dressing; garnish with the pumpkin seeds and remaining chives.
