Method

  • step 1

    Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Line a grill pan with foil and lay the salmon on top.

  • step 2

    Place the celeriac in a pan with cold water to cover. Salt and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender. Preheat the grill to medium. Whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp olive oil.

  • step 3

    Grill the salmon for five minutes on each side. Meanwhile, drain the celeriac, reserving 1 tbsp cooking water. Return the celeriac to the pan. Mash until fairly smooth. Add the spinach, stirring occasionally over a low heat, until wilted. Stir in 1 tbsp mustard dressing and the reserved cooking water. Season.

  • step 4

    Spoon the mash on to two warm plates and top each with a fillet. Drizzle over the leftover dressing.

This is just brilliant! Really easy and VERY tasty - definitely one of the top salmon recipes!

A couple of tweaks: Double-up the quantities of the mustard mix, and don't use any cooking water when mashing the celeriac.

Was cooking salmon and thinking of sides, trying to utilise whatever was in the fridge. Had 1 celeriac and some spring greens so went with it. Added spring greens 5 min before taking celeriac off the hob.... there was handful of peas as well. Super tasty - my mega fussy bf who is on low carbon has…
