Method

  • Start by making the ratatouille.

  • 1) Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a casserole dish. Add the onion and garlic and fry until fragrant and softening. Add the aubergine, courgette, red pepper, tomatoes, basil and oregano. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring for 5-10 minutes over a medium heat.

  • 2) Cover ratatouille and let it cook for 20 minutes, on a lowe heat, stirring from time to time.

  • Now, the salmon.

  • 3) Wash each fillet and place all 6 on a baking tray on some silver foil. Season with salt and pepper, and a knob of butter, and then cover the fillets with some silver foil, ready for baking.

  • 4) Bring a large saucepan of slightly salted water to the boil (boil water in a kettle to speed up the process). Add the chopped potatoes and cook until tender (approx 10-15 minutes). Alternatively, if you have a steamer, steam them - a great way to keep all nutrients in, without boiling them away!) Drain, replace the potatoes in the saucepan, and mash with some butter, a splash of milk, 2 chopped spring onions, a pinch more salt and pepper.

  • 5) Bake the salmon on a medium heat in the oven.

  • 6) Serve a bed of ratatouille on six plates, place a salmon on top of each, with some mash at the side.

  • 7) And eat! With some nice wine!
