Ingredients
- 300g Baby Spud Lite Potatoes, chopped
- 1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed, diagonally sliced into thirds
- 200g skinless and boneless salmon fillets
- Olive oil cooking spray
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups rocket leaves
- 1 small red capsicum, cut into thin strips

- 2 Tbsp extra light sour cream
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard

Method
- Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with plenty of cold water. Cover and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, partially covered, for 10-15 minutes or until tender, adding the asparagus for the last 1 minute of cooking.
- Meanwhile, preheat a chargrill on medium-high. Spray both sides of the salmon with cooking spray and season with pepper. Add to the chargrill and cook for 21/2 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate.
- To make the dressing: whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Toss the rocket, capsicum, capers and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Flake the salmon into large pieces and add to the salad with the potato. Toss gently to combine.
- Divide the salad between shallow serving bowls. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.
