Salmon lends itself to endless possibilities in the kitchen, with options to cook it in the oven, pan, or even an air fryer.
When it comes to making a delicious, balanced meal, British chef Mary Berry knows a thing or two about how to serve fresh salmon.
Her recipe for a Thai-style salmon traybake has garnered 49 4.5-star reviews on BBC Food and takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.
Sharing the recipe from her cookbook Mary Berry’s Simple Comforts, Mary described the dish as: “An all-in-one-pan salmon traybake, bursting with Thai flavours and fresh vegetables.”
The ingredients make plenty for six people but any leftovers can easily be cooled and stored in the fridge for one day after it’s been cooked.
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C (200C Fan, Gas 7), then make a start on the Thai sauce.
Deseed and finely dice the chilli then peel and crush one large garlic clove. Take the 6cm piece of root ginger, peel and coarsely grate it.
Finely chop the grated ginger and juice the two limes. Add the coconut milk, Thai paste, chilli, garlic, ginger, lime juice and fish sauce in a small bowl.
Season with salt and pepper and gently stir together. Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into small florets, then remove the seeds from the Romano peppers and cut them into large pieces.
Peel and halve three banana shallots then add to a large roasting tin with the cauliflower and romano peppers.
Add one tablespoon of the oil and stir well, then pour over half of the coconut milk mixture and season with more salt and pepper.
Drizzle over the honey and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the vegetables start to brown.
Thinly slice the courgettes on the diagonal and then mix with the remaining oil in a bowl. Add the courgettes to the tin along with the six salmon fillets and spoon over the remaining coconut mixture.
Roast for a further 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked, then sprinkle the tin with the Thai basil and serve piping hot.
This dish is great on its own, according to Mary Berry, but she suggested serving it with rice or potatoes for more substance if desired.
