FAQ

Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No—it contains salmon. You could swap in a plant-based protein like tofu or chickpeas, but the dish would be different.
Can I use frozen salmon or runner beans?
Yes. Thaw the salmon first and adjust the cooking time; frozen runner beans may need a little longer to become tender.
What are the main health benefits of this dish?
It provides high-quality protein from salmon, fiber and polyphenols from beans and tomato, and heart-healthy fats from olive oil.
How should I store leftovers?
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 1–2 days and reheat gently.
What should I serve it with?
Whole grains, a leafy salad, or crusty bread go well; adjust portions to your appetite.
Can I adjust the herbs and spices?
Yes. Use what you have—basil, parsley, dill all work well. Salt to taste.
Is this dish gluten-free?
Yes, as prepared it is gluten-free; just check any added sauces or stock for gluten.
How do I know when the salmon is cooked?
Cook until it’s opaque and flakes easily; internal temperature about 63°C (145°F) is a safe target.
What can I do if the flavors taste bland?
Finish with a squeeze of lemon, a bit more olive oil, or extra herbs.
