How to make it

  1. Preheat the oven.
    Heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas Mark 6.
  2. Prepare the salmon.
    Place the salmon fillets on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  3. Season the fish.
    Rub the salmon with olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, paprika, salt and black pepper.
  4. Roast the salmon.
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Prepare the vegetables.
    While the salmon cooks, slice the pepper, courgette, carrot, onion and other vegetables.
  6. Stir-fry the vegetables.
    Heat olive oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion, carrot, broccoli and green beans first. Cook for 3–4 minutes.
  7. Add the softer vegetables.
    Add the red pepper, courgette and garlic. Stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
  8. Add flavour.
    Stir in the soy sauce or tamari. Toss everything together for 30 seconds.
  9. Serve.
    Spoon the stir-fried vegetables onto plates and place the roasted salmon fillet on top.

    Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh herbs if using.
