      This was delicious. I didn’t have beans so used broccoli. I’m cooking for one, so made the full amount of bean purée and half is in the fridge for another day. Also I thought I had maple syrup when I started but I was wrong. A lovely honey from a friend who is a beekeeper was the substitute. Maple syrup is now on my shopping list. Salmon was on special when I went to the supermarket today so I treated myself to a fillet.

      It’s 3 years since I found this recipe. I made it again a few weeks ago and again today. It is so versatile. Use something different to top the salmon. Today I used lemon grass cream and honey. Also vary what you add to the white bean mash. Today I added an Asian spice blend with water instead of stock. I’m fortunate to be able to afford a salmon fillet each fortnight so this recipe is now a regular on my menu but with my own variations.
