Method

  1. Preheat the oven. Mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, the juice of one lime and 2 tbsp olive oil. Season generously with pepper.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking tray and carefully spoon the herb crust onto the top. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender.
  4. While the potatoes and salmon are cooking, prepare a vinaigrette for the salad. Mix together the white wine vinegar and 3 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  5. Drain the potatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss the watercress and spring onions with the dressing. Serve the salad and potatoes immediately with the salmon and lime wedges.
