Our fishmonger does a cracking hot smoked salmon. The textures in this dish work so well together. The flesh of the salmon is nice and soft against the crunchy beans and watercress. The smooth creamy avocado works so well the salty capers. Rosemary, garlic and lemon go so well together and it perfectly finishes off the salad.

Ingredients (serves 2)

For the salmon

• 1 large piece or 2 small hot smoked salmon fillets
• 2 sprigs of rosemary
• 2 tbsp of the dressing
