Method

  1. Cook the leeks: Put the leeks into a large microwave dish and sprinkle over 2 tablespoons water. Cover the dish with cling film and pierce a couple of times with a fork. Cook on 850W for 3 minutes, then leave to stand for 1 minute.
  2. Make the sauce: Whisk the olive oil, mustard, honey and lemon juice together and season with a little salt and pepper. Scatter the tomatoes on top of the leeks and spoon over half the sauce.
  3. Cook the salmon: Lay the salmon fillets side by side on top of the vegetables and spoon the remaining sauce over them. Replace the cling film and continue cooking on 850W for 9 minutes. Leave to stand for a couple of minutes before serving.

Taste team comment

"An easy and very simple recipe. Although I was sceptical about the combination of flavours - I was proved wrong. An excellent light lunch or supper dish."

    enjoyed this dish very much, cooking the salmon in the microwave keeps it lovely & moist. As I had half a cabbage and some sprouts to use up I sliced the cabbage finely and added sliced sprouts to it, which made an interesting alternative to the leeks. I will definitely make it again.

    We really loved it. In stead of crusty bread we had chips wit it.

    Found it quite tricky to cook in the microwave so baked in oven for 25 mins. Very moist but not so keen on the actual taste.
