Today's healthy recipe - salmon and green bean stirfry

This is a great recipe that I got from Sainsbury's Feed your family for a fiver collection... very quick and easy!


265g salmon fillet (2 fillets)
300g pack dwarf beans (translation: green beans)
1 large courgette (translation: zucchini)
400g can of cherry tomatoes
plain flour for dusting
150ml vegetable stock (made with 1 cube)
250g of rice, whichever kind you like, prepared however you like it (the recipe uses easy cook rice, we just boil plain white rice for this recipe.  My hubby thinks you could also serve it with noodles instead, but I'm not so sure and I'm right a lot more often than he is)

Prepare your rice, and meanwhile, cut salmon fillets into small chunks and toss in 1 tbsp of flour and season with pepper.  Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan, add the salmon and cook until browned, then set aside.  Add the beans, chopped courgette and tin of cherry tomatoes.  Pour in the stock and bring to the boil.  Simmer for about 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender.  Return the salmon to the pan and heat through.  Serve with the rice on the side.  And follow up with some kind of rich, chocolatey, calorie laden dessert to make up for such a healthy main course.  Eat after your ten month old goes to bed to avoid yet further food mashed into your nice hardwood floors and carpeting.
