Enjoy this easy and deliciously nutritious one-pan dish. High in protein and fibre, it’s packed with plant-based diversity and a hit of Omega-3 from the succulent salmon fillets.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp dried basil or oregano
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 salmon fillets (approx 120g each), skin on
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into chunks
- 200g broccoli, cut into florets
- 500g mixed pack of Mediterranean vegetables*
- 1 pack of cherry tomatoes, approx. 16
- 400g tin/ jarred butter beans, drained and rinsed (approx 220g drained)
- Handful of Kalamata olives
- 1 cup of grains of choice**, cooked
- 1 tbsp of mixed seeds
To serve:
- 1/4 cup plain yoghurt (we used Bio&Me Kefir Live Yoghurt Original)
- 1 tbsp harissa
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Fresh basil (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C Fan / gas mark 5
- In a small bowl, combine the dried basil or oregano, paprika, crushed garlic and extra virgin olive oil.
- Brush 1/3 of the mixture onto the salmon fillets and place them back into the fridge.
- Scatter the sweet potato chunks onto a large roasting dish and drizzle them with a 1/3 of the seasoning mix.
- Place the sweet potato in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and add the mixed mediterranean vegetables to the roasting dish. Coat with rest of the seasoning and place the dish back in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Next add the salmon, tomatoes, broccoli, butter beans and olives, then sprinkle on the mixed seeds and mixed grains and place the dish back in the oven for a further 15 minutes (or until the salmon is cooked, depending on its thickness and your preferences).
- Mix the yoghurt and harissa and dollop on top of the the salmon. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and fresh basil and dig in.
*If you’d prefer to use whole vegetables instead of a pre-mixed pack, we used one aubergine, one courgette, one red & one green pepper, and one large red onion. Simply cut them all into chunks and add them at step 6.
**We’ve used pre-cooked mixed grains, but any leftover grains work well.
