Method

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

    I enjoyed this dish, and the celeriac made an interesting change from potato. It was really quick and easy to make and my children ate it too, although with some hollandaise instead of the mustard dressing.

    very easy to prepare! I think celeriac is an acquired taste but nevertheless interesting! Mustard dressing really complimented the dish!

    I did not have salmon so used beef casserole instead and added a little creme fraiche to the celeriac mash. Delicious. It is a nice way of eating spinach which I only stirred in for a couple of minutes rather than wilting it.

    This is an excellent dish. I've made it several times now, so simple and so delicious. The celeriac ends up tasting quite creamy in spite of there being no cream in it and the wholegrain mustard really complements its delicate flavor. Makes for a really filling and quite posh meal, and very low on carbs and calories. Super.

    Absolutely lovely. The celeriac made a fantastic change and the mustard dressing complemented both the celeriac and the salmon fabulously. I'll certainly be making this again.

    Instead of the cooking water use half fat creme fraiche - makes the mash beautifully creamy.
