Simple Ingredients, Quick Preparation
The dish serves two and requires minimal preparation. For the traybake, you need half a lime (juice only), one tablespoon of soy sauce (gluten-free if required), half a teaspoon of caster sugar, two 200g salmon fillets, 100g Tenderstem broccoli (trimmed), 100g green beans (halved), and one small red pepper (sliced). The dressing includes one small garlic clove (grated), 1cm fresh root ginger (peeled and grated), two spring onions (white part finely chopped, green part thinly sliced), one red finger chilli (very finely chopped), half a lime (juice only), one tablespoon of soy sauce, two tablespoons of olive oil, one teaspoon of sesame oil, and half a teaspoon of caster sugar.
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat the oven to 230°C (210°C Fan) or its highest setting. In a shallow bowl, mix lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Place the salmon fillets in the bowl, coat with the mixture, and let stand skin side up for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease a roasting tin with oil. Put the broccoli and green beans in a bowl, cover with boiling water, leave for five minutes, then drain. Place the salmon fillets skin side down at one end of the tin, and tip the broccoli, beans, and peppers into the other end. Pour over the soy sauce mixture, toss the vegetables to coat, and loosely cover the vegetables with kitchen foil, leaving the salmon exposed. Roast for 12 minutes. While roasting, mix the dressing ingredients in a small jug. Spoon the dressing over the vegetables, sprinkle the green spring onion parts on top, and serve.
Customizable and Convenient
The recipe notes encourage cooks to 'feel free to change up the vegetables,' allowing for flexibility based on what is available. This traybake is ideal for a quick, healthy summer dinner with minimal cleanup.
