Whip up Tin Salmon with a Spicy Twist
Serves (2-4):
- 4 neat salmon fillets (each 150g)
- 400g assorted veggies (e.g., broccoli, carrots, bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Spice Mix:
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, pepper, and a puny organic lemon for serving
Prep and Cook:
- Bust out the oven and heat it to 400°F (200°C, convection). Toss a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet - perfect for cleanup.
- Rinse and chop your veggies into edible chunks: Broccoli to florets, carrots to sticks, and bell peppers to slices. Mince the peeled garlic cloves.
- Lay out the veggies on the baking sheet, mixed with cheese-grated garlic, olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper, and stir it all up. Arrange the veggies neatly on the sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
- As the veggies bake, whip up the spice mix in a bowl by combining the chili flakes, sesame seeds, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Quickly rinse under cold water and pat dry the salmon fillets, then coat both sides with the spice mix.
- Pluck out the sizzling veggies after 10 minutes, and park the spiced salmon fillets in the oven to roast for another 10-12 minutes until salmon is cooked yet juicy, and the veggies are tender.
- Slice the washed, heated lemon, save some for serving alongside the grilled salmon with roasted veggies.
- In a single dash, this 25-minute dish brings you healthy, speedy, and delectable salmon with colorful roasted vegetables.
