A delicious and simple salmon dish that serves 2 - 4

200g potato, peeled, large dice
200g sweet potato, peeled, large dice
30g butter, cubed

This is done in the microwave. Use your stove if you don't have a microwave and adjust accordingly.
Heaped tsp of cornflour
Juice and rind of 1 lemon
¼ cup cream
3 Tbsp Mayonnaise (I use my slightly sweetened mayo)
Lemon pepper to taste

Weigh potato and sweet potato into basket.
Remove the basket and add 1 litre boiling water to the bowl. (or use Kettle mode on TM6)
Place basket back into the bowl.
Cook 5 min/Varoma/sp 3.
Place prepared vegetables into Varoma bowl and place on top.
Steam another 5 min/Varoma/speed 3
Meanwhile, prepare salmon by placing on to scrunched wet baking paper (or greased steaming tray) on Varoma tray.
Sprinkle with lemon pepper and drizzle over white wine.
Steam 5 min/Varoma/speed 3 or until fish is almost cooked.
Remove Varoma bowl and tray and place onto a plate to catch liquid.
Remove basket with spatula and tip water out of TM bowl.

Blend 5 - 10 sec/speed 4 - 5 or until silky smooth.
Place Varoma back onto TM bowl to keep everything warm while preparing sauce in microwave.
Sauce
Place cornflour into a small microwave safe jug. Add a little water to make a slurry.
Tip juice from the salmon into the jug and whisk in lemon juice and rind, cream, dill and lemon pepper. Microwave in 3 x 30 second bursts, stirring in between or until bubbling and thickened.
