This dish is sheer salmon royalty. Simple grilled fish and an herby white bean mash go together like William and Kate. Top it off with a fresh and bright radish salad and you’ve got a dish that’s fit for a queen. Did we mention it’s ready in only 30 mins? That’s less time than it takes to watch an episode of The Crown.
Chef Tips:
– If there’s a variety of radishes available, buy them for pops of color.
– If you don’t have a grill/grill pan, sear the salmon skin side down in a large pan with oil, 5-7 mins, flip & continue cooking until salmon is cooked medium rare, 5-6 mins.
