How To Make Hairy Bikers Salmon Tray Bake Recipe

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 230°C/210°C Fan/Gas 8 or its highest setting.
2. Prepare the salmon marinade: In a shallow bowl, mix lime juice, soy sauce, and caster sugar until the sugar dissolves. Place the salmon fillets in the bowl, coat well, and leave them skin side up for 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the vegetables: Lightly grease a roasting tin with oil. Add broccoli and green beans to a bowl, cover them with boiling water, and leave for 5 minutes before draining.
4. Assemble the traybake: Place the salmon fillets skin side down at one end of the tin. Add the broccoli, green beans, and red pepper to the other end. Pour over the marinade, toss the vegetables to coat, and loosely cover them with foil, leaving the salmon exposed.
5. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 12 minutes until the salmon is cooked and the vegetables are tender.
6. Make the dressing: In a small jug, combine grated garlic, ginger, the white part of the spring onions, chilli, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil (if using), and caster sugar.
7. Serve: Spoon the dressing over the vegetables, sprinkle the green part of the spring onions on top, and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh ingredients: Always choose fresh salmon and vegetables to ensure the best flavour and texture.
• Don’t skip marinating: Marinating the salmon for at least 10 minutes adds flavour and keeps it juicy while baking.
• Blanch vegetables correctly: Soak broccoli and green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes to make them tender but still crisp.
• Keep foil loose: Cover the vegetables loosely with foil to prevent them from overcooking while keeping the salmon exposed for a crispy finish.
• Serve immediately: This dish tastes best when served hot, so plan to serve it as soon as it’s ready.

How To Store Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers salmon tray bake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
