My dad's Green Bean & Blue Cheese recipe

Did I mention that my parents can cook great food?  Or that my brother is a fantastic chef?  Shame, isn't it then, that when I moved to Europe at the age of 26, I still couldn't cook.  
Had to survive on crackers, cottage cheese, peanut butter and Granny Smith apples when I first moved to London.  Great weight-loss tool though:  I was thin as a rake.

This recipe is one my dad uses all the time, but I've simplified it simply because I don't have all the ingredients in the house.  Easy, cheap as can be and delicious.  Perfect for our salmon dinner tonight as I have an immensely busy week back at work.  Sigh.  And, FYI:  we never did get around to cleaning the house after all...
