Mediterranean salmon tray bake

A simple, flavourful tray bake that takes your tastebuds to the shores of the Mediterranean 

Gluten-free
Nut-free
Dairy free
A salmon tray bake featuring Mediterranean flavours like zucchini, capsicum and broccolini

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180℃. Add the pumpkin, zucchini, capsicum and oil to a large, deep non-stick baking tray and toss to coat. Season with pepper. Bake, turning halfway, for 30–40 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  2.  Add the broccolini and place the salmon on top. Spread each fillet evenly with pesto. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until salmon is cooked to your liking.
  3. Divide salmon and vegetables among plates. Squeeze lemon wedges over the dish to serve.

Serving tip

Serve with a fresh garden salad on the side.

Variations

Use a firm, white fish fillet such as barramundi, snapper or ling instead.

Swap fish for chicken tenderloins.

Cooking tips

If buying salmon from the local fishmonger, ask them to take the skin off for you.

Money-saving tips

Use frozen salmon fillets instead of fresh and simply thaw before use.

Storage tip

TO REFRIGERATE: Store salmon and veggies in a reusable container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through to serve.

Nutrition tips

The skin of the salmon has a concentration of omega-3s and is a good source of vitamins D and B. If you would like to leave the skin on, pan fry the salmon, skin-side down, for 3–5 minutes before adding to the traybake for a crispy skin. Then reduce the oven cook time slightly to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
