Method

You’ll need: oven · baking tray · chopping board · knife

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Wash the courgette and pepper, trim the veg and cut everything into bite-sized pieces or strips.
3. Spread the veg over the tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with herbs, salt and pepper.
4. Pat the salmon fillet dry and place it in the middle of the veg bed.
5. Bake everything in the oven at 200 °C for 15–20 min, until the salmon is cooked and flakes easily into segments.
6. Arrange the salmon with the roasted veg on a plate and, if you like, finish with a little more olive oil or fresh herbs.

Allergens

Contains fish. Suitable for children if you remove the bones carefully, and fine during pregnancy as long as the salmon is fully cooked through.
