  • Fry the chopped onion in half the the olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the drained butter beans, stock and mint. Simmer gently.
  • Mix the pesto, ground almonds, lemon zest and parmesan together. Spoon onto the flesh of the salmon.
  • If you like crispy salmon skin, fry the salmon in the remaining oil, skin side down for 3 minutes.
