3. Scottish Oat & Leek Pilaf with Salmon

Oats move to the savoury side in this skillet supper. It’s truly a one-pan meal with all four good groups. Cooking the oats in milk makes them creamy and tender and infuses the good nutrition right in. The salmon steams on top of the oats, and the asparagus, dill and lemon add a fresh punch.
