This is such an easy dinner idea & tastes great. I've made enough for one, but you can easily double, treble, or quadruple.

My son said to me 'It looks like a restaurant meal'. So there you go, you too can throw this together, as it's all in the presentation.

I've got loads of piccy's for you to show you just how easy dinner idea it is,  so let's get started.

For your easy dinner idea take;

1 piece of trout (or salmon, or pretty much any fillet of fish) or you could swap it for chicken.

1 lemon (if using fish)

Some washed raw spinach

Pack of green beans, washed with ends cut

Cherry tomatoes, washed & cut in halves

About 3/4 cup of baby new potatoes, washed & cut in halve

Sm knob of butter for cooking

Black pepper

Foil

Preheat oven to 200 degrees centigrade or gas mark 6

Get the potatoes on boiling in water,which will roughly take about 20 mins. The fish may take 15-20 mins depending on thickness.

Prep the fish by placing it on small piece of foil (there are 2 pieces of fish in the piccy), squeeze over some fresh lemon juice, add black pepper & small knob of butter, fold into a parcel, place on baking tray.

Place cherry tomatoes on small piece of foil, season & add a tiny amount of olive oil, or cook without oil. Place on the same baking tray.

How simple is this easy dinner idea !!

Now prep the salad you want to use - I'm using raw spinach. Just add a nice amount to the bowl.  Season & flavour, I've squeezed over some lemon juice & added black pepper.

Check your timings; the green beans may need 6-8 mins in boiling water, with the lid 3/4's on.

The fish may take slightly longer than the potatoes, or the potatoes may be done first. When the potatoes are ready, drain & place lid on pan to keep warm if you're waiting for the fish.

Have a look at the fish - are there any raw bits. is it hot & cooked the whole way through ? If the fish is cooked first, turn the oven off & leave it in the oven to keep warm.

When you've checked it's all cooked, it's time to create your masterpiece.

Add the warm potatoes, then the cooked cherry tomatoes & arrange the cooked beans over in a lovely pattern.

Now the final finishing touches to your scrummy easy dinner idea. It's time for the star of the show to be placed on gently. For me that's the trout. 

Then I've drizzled over a cap full of balsamic vinegar. 

That's it - oh so simple but tastes & looks great.

Let me know how you get on. Is whoever you cooked it for impressed ? Are you impressed with yourself?!!
