Fish Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp neutral-flavoured oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 250g potato, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
- 250g carrot, cut into 2cm cubes
- 1 pepper (any colour), deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes
- 200g leek, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 1¼ litres vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 10g dill
- 4 skinless white fish fillets (about 400g; we used hake)
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5-7 mins until beginning to soften. Mix in the garlic, potatoes, carrots, peppers, leeks and tomato purée, and cook for 3-5 mins more. Pour in the stock and stir in the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 mins until the veg is almost tender.
- Finely chop most of the dill, reserving a few whole sprigs. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper and a bit of the lemon juice. Add the fish to the soup along with a pinch of the lemon zest and the chopped dill. Simmer gently over a low heat for 5-7 mins until the fish is cooked through. Remove the bay leaf and season the soup to taste, adding more lemon juice or zest, if needed. Scatter over the reserved dill sprigs to serve.

Ingredients 450g salmon fillet ½ teaspoon salt, divided ¼ teaspoon ground pepper 30g string beans (green, yellow, or a mix), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 ¾ cups water ¾ cup quinoa (red, white, or tricolored), rinsed 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish, or 1/2 tsp. dried 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved or sliced Instructions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon filet on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/8 tsp. salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is no longer opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then flake the salmon into bite-size pieces (discard the skin). Meanwhile, bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add 8 ounces beans; cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Rinse the beans under cold water, drain well, and set aside. Combine 1 ¾ water, ¾ quinoa, and 1/8 tsp. salt in the saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Whisk 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 teaspoons chopped oregano, and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl. To serve, divide the quinoa among 4 dinner bowls. Arrange the salmon, beans, tomato, feta, and olives over the quinoa. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with more fresh oregano, if desired.
