The method
- 1Boil potatoes until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and keep hot.
- 2Warm half the oil in a frying pan. Cook salmon gently on both sides until thoroughly cooked. Check the thickest pieces of every meat or fish ingredient reach 75°C for at least 30 seconds with a clean food thermometer. Continue cooking if needed; time and colour alone are not reliable.
- 3In a separate pan, warm remaining oil and soften garlic for 30 seconds. Wilt spinach, then stir in cream and mustard. Heat gently until piping hot.
- 4Add lemon juice and pepper and serve the salmon with creamy spinach and potatoes.
