It is important to know if your Salmon is sustainable, read more on that here.

How you know the salmon is cooked

1. The side of the salmon changes colour from translucent to opaque; or
2. The internal temperature of the salmon is 50C or 55C .

The Salmon Marinade

Here’s what goes in the Salmon Marinade/Dressing:

• Soy Sauce
• Honey
• Ginger
• Garlic
• Lime

It adds a savoury sweet ginger garlic flavour to the salmon and makes it beautifully caramelised.

It’s a delicious and easy way to cook salmon that makes the most of all that we love about salmon – it’s gorgeous juicy flesh, the flavour of salmon, and how the surface caramelises beautifully when seared with honey and soy.

This traybake is a meal in itself but it is gorgeous served with coconut rice. Recipe below.

How to make Salmon and Veg traybake

Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.

Add chopped potato to the tray, toss the potatoes with oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender. 

Put the broccoli and salmon fillets on top/around the veg. I also added lemons and bashed garlic cloves to the tray.

To make the sauce, mix oil with the soy sauce and honey, and spread over the salmon fillets. Roast for 15 -25 mins until the fish is cooked through.

Make the dressing by mixing ginger, garlic, lime juice and spring onions with oil. Once the salmon is cooked, pour the dressing over the top and scatter over the red chilli.

Recipe Notes

How long does it take to cook salmon?

In the oven - Heat to 200 C/Gas 6. Add a marinade if using. Lay the pieces of salmon in an ovenproof dish and either cover the dish if you want the salmon to stay tender on top, or leave it uncovered if you want the flesh to roast slightly. I tend to leave it uncovered. Cook for 15-25 mins. The best way to gauge how long to cook for is to base the initial time on 4 mins per 1 cm of thickness in the centre. When the salmon is cooked it will look opaque and the flesh will flake if you poke a fork into the centre.
