Ingredients

Lemon Garlic Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Juice and zest from one small lemon
  • 2 large garlic cloves, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Salmon and Vegetables:

  • Olive oil spray
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin on
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, with woody ends trimmed
  • 8 oz (225 g) of purple sprouting broccoli or broccoli florets
  • 8 oz (225 g) cherry tomatoes
  • Extra lemon juice and lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, for garnishing

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a consistent cooking temperature.
  • As it warms, prepare the lemon garlic mixture. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice and zest of 1 small lemon, 2 large crushed garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • Stir until well-mixed to create a fragrant, smooth paste that will infuse your traybake with vibrant flavors.
  • Next, prepare the vegetables and salmon. Lightly spray a large baking tray with olive oil.
  • Lay 4 salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the center of the tray. Arrange the trimmed asparagus, 8 oz of purple sprouting broccoli, and 8 oz of cherry tomatoes around the salmon.
  • Coat the salmon fillets with the lemon garlic mixture, using a spoon or brush to spread it evenly. Ensure each piece is generously covered to permeate the fillets with its zesty, aromatic essence.
  • Place the tray in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes.
  • Once finished, remove the tray and garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
  • Serve immediately, allowing guests to squeeze additional lemon juice over their portions, enhancing the dish’s vibrant, fresh flavor profile.
