Ingredients

  • 130g Salmon Fillet
  • 160g gnocchi
  • 80g asparagus
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the asparagus and cherry tomatoes, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pan-fry the gnocchi in a non-stick pan for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.

  3. 3

    Place the salmon on a lined tray, brush with some of the sauce and bake at 200°C for 12-14 minutes until it flakes easily.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the asparagus and cherry tomatoes for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: gnocchi first, then the veg and salmon, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
