Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 skinless salmon fillets , about 175g/6oz
1 lime
3 tbsp clear honey
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
3 x 410g cans butter beans , rinsed
25g butter
5 tbsp crème fraîche
1 garlic clove , crushed
100g bag rocket

Steps:

  • Set the grill to its highest setting. Put the salmon fillets flesh-side up and evenly spaced in a shallow flameproof dish. Finely grate the zest of the lime into a bowl, then squeeze in the juice and stir in the honey, mustard and a good sprinkling of salt. Pour the mixture over the salmon and grill, without turning, for 5-6 minutes until it's golden on top and cooked through (check the centre with a fork).
  • Meanwhile, tip the beans into a saucepan and add the butter, crème fraîche, garlic and plenty of salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to moderate and coarsely mash everything together - a wooden spoon or a masher will do the job - until hot and bubbling. This only takes a few minutes as the beans are already cooked.Tip in the rocket and stir into the mash until it's hot and just wilted.
  • Serve the salmon on the mash, drizzled with the cooking juices.

Tips:

  • If you don't have any lime on hand, you can substitute lemon juice instead.
  • If you want a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the butter mixture.
  • To make the dish more flavorful, use a variety of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Serve the mixed beans with rice, quinoa, or your favorite bread.

Conclusion:

This mixed beans with lime butter recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up any leftover beans you may have.
