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.

Before you start

  • Preheat the grill to high (240C)
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve & a large bowl

Grill the salmon

  • Place the salmon onto the foil-lined baking tray (skin-side up). Drizzle with 2 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper
  • Grill for 18 mins, until cooked through

Soften the veg

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the peppers. Trim and halve the green beans
  • Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and pepper and cook for 5-6 mins, until soft and golden. Season with salt and pepper

Build the salad

  • Finely slice the shallots. Cut the large tomatoes into 2cm wedges. Halve the small tomatoes. Drain and rinse the butterbeans. Roughly chop the capers
  • In the large bowl, combine the vinegar, green harissa, honey and 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the prepped veg, softened veg and butterbeans. Toss to coat in the dressing

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Roughly tear the basil over the salad, then serve on plates with the salmon on top
