Directions

1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Carefully slide the salmon fillets into the water and reduce the heat to just simmering. Poach the fish for 10 minutes or until just cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift the fish out of the water and drain well.
2. While the fish is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the bacon for 1 minute, then add the zucchini and broccoli and fry for another minute. Add in the cherry tomatoes and cook for a further minute or until the tomatoes start to burst open. Add the spinach and let it wilt down just a few minutes, then season with a little salt and a generous amount of pepper.
3. Divide the bacon and vegetable mixture between two plates, top with the poached salmon and finish with a scattering of pine nuts. Serve with a little finely grated parmesan. Enjoy!
