Alison Roman’s salmon with soy and citrusy charred spring onion.... with broccoli.

We had this spin on an Alison Roman dish with smashed cucumbers, and the combination was very good.
My only change was to add some charred tenderstem broccoli to the spring onions to give the dish a bit more ‘heft’
I really like the Asian influenced spicy sharp flavours here.
I promise I will cook something from another cookbook some time soon btw .... I’m just loving this book though.
Ingredients 

spring onions 6
10 stems tenderstem broccoli 
skin-on salmon fillet 
olive oil 60ml, plus 3 tbsp
low-salt soy sauce 60ml
lemons or limes 1-2, zest finely grated to make 1 tbsp, plus 4 tbsp of juice
orange juice 2 tbsp
dried chilli flakes to taste

Method

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. 
Trim the broccoli and blanch for a couple of minutes or until stalks are tender but not overdone. Now toss the broccoli and spring onions in a little oil and cook in a heavy frying pan or griddle with some seasoning for 4-6 minutes, tossing now and then, until they are deeply charred in spots
Put the salmon in a large baking dish, skin-side down. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and season with salt and lots of pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes or until the centre begins to turn pink but remains medium-rare towards the top.
Transfer the veg to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Add to the bowl with the soy sauce, the citrus zest and juice, and 60ml olive oil. Season and add the chilli flakes to taste.
Transfer the salmon to a large serving platter, leaving any skin behind. Spoon a generous amount of the broccoli/spring onion mixture over, serving any extra alongside.

Crack potatoes courtesy of Ottolenghi. Harissa and confit garlic roast potatoes

Another recipe from Ottolenghi's Simple, another recommendation from Will Saunders.   I know its the middle of summer but who doesn't love a roastie? These little tinkers are so good that they are like crack, class A calories. The clever bit is the addition of semolina and caraway seeds which adds a new level of crunchiness to add to the delicious warm heat of Harissa. Heres the recipe These make a lovely, spicy change from the traditional Sunday roasties. They’re especially good with spiced roast meat. Serves six to eight. 2 large heads garlic, cloves separated and peeled 130g goose or duck fat 4 sprigs fresh rosemary  6 sprigs fresh thyme  2kg maris piper potatoes, peeled and cut into 5cm chunks 40g ground semolina 2 tsp caraway seeds, toasted and lightly crushed 2 tbsp rose harissa Flaky sea salt Heat the oven to 150C/300F/gas mark 2. Put the garlic, fat and herbs in a small ovenproof pan or saucepan for which you have a lid. Cover and roast for 40 minut

Nigel Slaters deceptively brilliant monkfish

Lisa discovered this recipe in her favourite Nigel book. It is one of those fish, 'but not as we know it Jim' recipes. Not just because Monkfish is the fish that can best impersonate meat but also because of the marinade ingredients that are more often featured with lamb. It's not difficult to do but the flavour is a revelation, which makes it a perfect recipe in my book. This can be cooked on a grill pan or a barbecue. Ingredients 3 bushy sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped 4 anchovy fillets 2 large cloves garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 large lemon, juice only 3 tbsp olive oil 800g/1½lb monkfish fillet Method Pull the leaves from the rosemary stalks and chop them finely, then tip them into a bowl large enough to take the fish. Rinse the anchovy fillets and smash them to a rough pulp with the flat edge of your chopping knife. Peel the garlic, crush it flat, then smash it to a purée in the same way. Stir together the herb, anchovy and garlic, adding a grind

Sea Bass on mushroom potatoes with salsa Verde

I felt the overwhelming need to cook something new on Saturday night. I didn't want the tired and tested I wanted to explore new culinary waters. However combined with this desire was an equal and opposing force, driven by being absolutely knackered, that meant it had to be simple too. I returned to one of Jamie's early books, to a recipe that IO had meant to do on countless occasions but never quite got round to. I have done several versions of Sea Bass on a bed of potatoes, some that I have written about on this blog. The one question I would have is about the thickness of the potatoes and the length of time they need to be cooked through ... in my oven I reckon they need about 10 minutes more than the recipe suggests. I would suggest a bit of a trial run if you are going to do it for a dinner party ... however once you have given it a whirl I think this makes for a very easy recipe for a crowd. Here's the recipe. Roasted slashed fillet of sea bass stuffed with herbs, bak
