    Sounds lovely. Will make it this week. Thought maybe of serving it with Ainsley Harriot's Lemon, Mint and Parsley Cous Cous. Also i can use the spinach we have growing and some broad beans we also have growing

    As with alot of these delicious recipes, i appreciate the calorie counts, but then it doesn't mention the size or weight of the salmon fillet?? Is there a standard weight for when the weight is not mentioned??

    In answer to the weight questions, I've been digging about and found that a 140g Salmon fillet per person seems to be par for course. That's the weight I'm going with tonight per person. Hope that helps.

    Lovely recipe. Salmon is very aromatic. Spinach was not enough though. I added a tbsp of creme fraiche. Delicious! Don't skip the mint. It gives the dish nice and fresh taste of summer.

    Would use the spinach leaves raw fresh from the garden and like Jooles would also add other fresh veggies growing in the garden (whatever is plentiful at time of cooking).

    I have an abundance of mint in my garden so now I'm always looking for recipes for it. Mint adds a beautiful freshness to dishes which I've only just discovered. My first recipe was Pasta with tomatoes, capers and mint by Rick Stein (which is delicious, though add parmesan on top, it's not available on this website I might add). I tried this salmon recipe but was slightly disappointed in the Yoghurt and curry powder dressing, I didn't think it tasted that nice. I would probably try it with a proper mix next time otherwise the rest was great.
