Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200'C, fan 180'C. Put the green beans and peas in a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 3 mins, then drain.
Cut 4 rectangles (30 x 40cm) of nonstick baking paper. Divide the courgettes, green beans and peas between each paper, season and drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Top with a salmon fillet and spread each piece of salmon evenly with pesto.

Loosely fold each paper into a parcel and place on a baking tray or in a shallow roasting tin. Roast for 10-15 mins until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 10 mins, then drain and return to the pan. Toss with the butter and mint.
Remove the parcels from the oven and serve with the potatoes and lemon wedges.
