This salmon recipe is full of flavour thanks to its use of fresh herbs and spices. A healthy hit of salmon and plenty of greens means it’s packed full of essential nutrients and vitamins too.

It’s super quick to make and would serve equally well as a midweek dinner as it would a fancy looking dinner party dish.
