  3. Brush the mustard over the salmon. Season and grill for 5 minutes. Break it into pieces and serve with the rosti, watercress and aïoli.

    Lovely! The aioli has a fantastic minty lemony flavour that really compliments the fish. Needs some more veg to go with it though to make it a proper meal...

    Afraid I cheated a bit with the aioli - just mixed lemon, mint, and garlic into normal mayo - but it was still lovely! Kirsty: I made a full watercress & spinach salad to go with it, rather than just garnishing with watercress, which seemed to work well.

    We loved the fish....I did not like the potato rosti at all!!!! maybe my rostis were to thick so tasted like uncooked inside. I may try again but this time the rostis will be very fine. Let's hope.

    Awesome! I used a bunch of new potatoes as I didn't have any big ones but this turned out so perfect - absolutely delicious!
