  • 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a pot of salted water, boil the cubed potatoes for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish, pour the herb mixture over them, and ensure they are well-coated.
  5. Add the peas and shredded cabbage around the salmon in the baking dish.
  6. Arrange the boiled potatoes on top of the salmon and veggies. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 63°C / 145°F).
  8. Once done, allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant meal!

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as dill or parsley for a varied taste profile! This dish also works well with different fish, like trout or tilapia. If you're looking to make it ahead of time, you can prepare everything in the baking dish and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake—that makes for a super easy evening meal! Simply add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if baking straight from the fridge. Enjoy cooking and don’t hesitate to get creative!
