3 Season the salmon and line a baking tray with parchment paper rubbed with olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for up to 8 mins – check as the thickness and cut of the salmon will alter the cooking time.
4 Cook the green beans in salted boiling water, this will take 5-8 mins. After boiling, drain and keep hot.
5 Boil your egg. You want it soft-boiled, so boil for only 3 mins. Put in cool water, so you can peel it easily when the dish is ready to assemble.
