salmon with creole sauce

Ingredients:

2" wide salmon filets

renee's creole sauce (can be found at metro, etc)

handful of green beans

6-8 mini potatoes

herb de provence

lemon juice

butter

***

1. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to boil. Add about a tablespoon on lemon juice to the water. Get a smaller pot of water boiling as well (this smaller one will be for the potatoes).

2. While waiting for the water to boil, wash and cut the ends off of the beans. Put the beans into a deep glass dish, adding about 1/4 cup of butter, and a dash of lemon juice. Cover the top in plastic wrap, and place it in the microwave. On high, cook the beans for about 2-3 minutes, or until soft but crunchy. Once done, add a tiny amount of salt and pepper, and a bit more lemon juice.

3. Once the medium-sized pot of water has boiled, place the skinless salmon filets into the water. It will take about 7-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Keep an eye on it, and if unsure, use a knife to peek in the centre of the thickest part to see if it's cooked.

4. In the smaller pot of boiling water, add the mini potatoes. Cook until they slide easily off of a knife when poked. When cooked, drain the water, and in the pot, cut the potatoes in half. Add a dollop of butter, and 1-2 tablespoons of herb de provence, and mix thoroughly. The heat of the potatoes should melt the butter, allowing the herb de provence to coat them nicely.

5. Once the salmon is cooked, remove them from the water, and place on plates. Pour some creole sauce on top, and serve with the green beans and potatoes!
