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. Bring a saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes, then add to the saucepan. Simmer for 10-12 mins, until soft. Trim the green beans and cut into thirds. In the final 5 mins of cooking, add the green beans to the saucepan, then drain altogether.
  2. Peel the courgette into ribbons, then halve the ribbons lengthways. Trim and thinly slice the fennel. Heat a large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the prepped veg and cook for 7-8 mins, until deep golden brown. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Trim and thinly slice the radishes. Halve the tomatoes. Combine everything in a mixing bowl with the cooked veg and half the maple mustard dressing. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss to combine. Finely chop the chives.
  4. Tear the smoked salmon over the warm salad. Drizzle over the remaining dressing. Garnish with chives and capers.
