Love Bites Grilled Salmon & Garden Vege Medley

This dish is a true Love Bites recipe; one dish, super fast, healthy and adaptable to how you want it. You can use a range of green veges or what ever is in season, throw it in the oven and voila! A healthy, low carb, meat and veg option that's a sure winner.


Serves 2

INGREDIENTS:

x2 Salmon fillets
x1 Juice of a lemon
x1 Bunch of fresh asparagus
x1 Head of broccoli cut into individual trees
x1 Bunch of fresh round beans
1/2 Cup kalamata olives (de-pipped)
x1 Sprinkle of chilli flakes
x3 Bunches of cherry tomatoes still on the vine

METHOD:

  • Blanch the green vegetables by boiling a pot full of water, dropping the veges into the pan for a minute then removing and immediately plunging into cold water. This enables the veg to hold the nutrients and colour whilst cooking
  • Spread the veges on the bottom of a baking tray
  • Squeeze half of the lemon over the veg
  • Add the salmon fillets and bunches of cherry tomatoes on top of the veg
  • Sprinkle over the chilli flakes and the other half lemon
  • Place both lemon husks into the dish and cook for 20 minutes at 200 degrees
  • Use the sauce at the bottom of the pan to sprinkle over the salmon when serving (or alternatively see variations below)


Variations: Make a salsa verde as different sauce, alternatively serve with brown rice or boiled potatoes for some more substantial meal.
