-
Place the salmon skin side
down in a colander over a pan of boiling salted water,
covered, to steam for 8 minutes. It can also be cooked in
the oven for 20 mins or in the microwave, covered, for 5
mins.
-
Line up the beans, trim off
just the stalk end, then boil in the water under the
salmon for 6 minutes, or until just cooked but not
squeaky. Gently lower in the eggs to cook for exactly 5½
minutes, alongside.
-
Meanwhile, squash the olives
(if using), then finely chop the flesh. Mix half of the
olives through the yoghurt with a splash of red wine
vinegar, taste and season to perfection with sea salt and
black pepper.
-
Remove the salmon to a board,
then drain the eggs and beans in the colander.
-
Toss the beans in the dressing
and divide between your plates. Refresh the eggs under
cold water until cool enough to handle, then peel and cut
into quarters.
-
Flake over the salmon,
discarding the skin, arrange the eggs on top and dot over
the remaining chopped olives (if using).
-
Finish with 1 teaspoon of
extra virgin olive oil and a good pinch of pepper.
