- Preheat oven or barbeque to medium high.
- Blanch beans and broccoli, for 1–2 minutes and peas for 30 seconds.
- Drain and rinse under cold water to stop them from cooking.

- Cook salmon on lightly oiled grill over medium high heat (or under a broiler) until fish is brown and flakes with a fork, turning once until fish is browned and flakes.

Good to know: Save time by washing and preparing vegetables the morning or night before. Don’t forget to lightly oil your grill before cooking fish to help prevent it from sticking.
