Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Drizzle of olive oil/rapeseed oil/coconut oil
  • 1 large Salmon Fillet or two small ones
  • 2 tsp red pesto
  • 1/2 a courgette, chopped
  • Season salt & pepper
  • 1/2 a red pepper, deseeded and chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 a red onion, sliced
  • 50 g goat’s milk feta
  • 4 cherry tomatoes, halved.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
    Line a baking tray with foil and drizzle with the oil. Place the salmon in the middle, and spoon the pesto on top, covering the fish evenly.
    Scatter the courgettes, tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onions around the salmon, mixing everything together to combine, then season with salt and pepper and roast for 20 minutes. The vegetables should be golden when done, and the salmon an opaque, solid pink.
    About 4 minutes before it’s ready, dot the feta around the veg and put back in the oven until it’s warmed through and starting to melt.
    Transfer the salmon and vegetables with gorgeous melted feta on top to a plate and enjoy.
