  1. Heat a medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Add the salmon to the pan and cook for 5 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest; keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, drain the beans and rinse. Peel the carrot. Continue peeling the carrot to make ribbons, then slice the ribbons into long, thin strips (or use a julienne peeler or spiralizer if you have one). Trim the leek and cut in half lengthways, then thinly slice lengthways into long 'noodles'. Thinly slice the spring onions. Finely chop the parsley. Peel the ginger and garlic, then finely chop or grate. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Quarter the lime.
  3. Once the salmon is resting, reheat its pan with 1 tsp oil. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 mins, then add the five-spice, garlic, ginger, carrot, leek and half the spring onions. Cook for 5 mins, then add the beans, tamari, juice from 2 lime wedges and half the parsley. Season with black pepper and cook for a further 2 mins.
  4. Serve the leek and butter bean stir-fry topped with the salmon. Garnish with the remaining parsley and lime wedges.
