400g frozen broad beans
200g green round beans, halved diagonally, blanched
150g snow peas, halved diagonally, blanched
150g frozen peas, blanched
100g baby spinach leaves
50g snow pea sprouts
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
3 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
4 (about 125g each) salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Natural yoghurt, to serve

METHOD

Step 1 Place broad beans in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 2 minutes. Refresh under cold water. Drain. Peel and transfer to a large bowl. Add beans, snow peas, peas, baby spinach, snow pea sprouts and mint. Toss to combine.

Step 2 Combine the rosemary, thyme, chives and lemon rind on a plate. Season. Press the salmon fillets into the herb mixture to coat. Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Spray with oil. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.

Step 3 Drizzle oil and vinegar over the salad. Toss to combine. Divide the salad and salmon among plates. Drizzle lemon juice over salmon. Serve with yoghurt.

NOTES

Try this: For a weekend brunch, serve the salad on toasted wholegrain sourdough spread with a little ricotta and topped with smoked salmon.
