ROAST SPICED SIDE OF SALMON, WARM POTATO SALAD AND CUCUMBER SALSA

SERVES 6

To serve 6 people comfortably we recommend buying a side of salmon about 1.4kg in weight, don’t worry if it’s a little bit more or less!! Another tip is to buy the salmon with the skin on, this helps it stay moist and hold its shape, making it easier to serve!!

To make the potato salad extra special try and get your hands on some jersey royals, they will turn a good salad into an amazing one.

Lastly if you fancy a slightly different flavour to your salmon, check out our top tip and we’ll give you an alternative rub to try.
