Recipe tips
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
To make the parsley dressing, add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl then stir together and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
To make the salmon, drain the chickpeas into a sieve, lightly rinse in cold water and give a little shake to get rid of any excess liquid. Tip into a roasting tin and stir in the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Lay the wild salmon or trout fillets on top. Season them with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Roast for 10–12 minutes or until the fish is just cooked.
Once cooked, use a fish slice to carefully transfer the wild salmon fillets to a plate or tray then tip the rest of the roasting tin’s ingredients on top of the parsley dressing. Add the spinach and spring onions and mix well. You are just dressing the spinach leaves and are not looking to wilt them.
Pile the salad onto plates, then top each plate with a salmon fillet and serve.
Recipe Tips
Once the fish is cooked, make sure to add all the cooking juices to the finished dish as they will have lots of delicious flavour.
