Inspired by the Jessica Sepel’s one pan salmon dinner, this salmon dish is one of my absolute favourites to make. Its super easy and ticks all the boxes. 

Why this is good for you:

• Salmon is high in omega-3 which helps to reduce inflammation (anti-inflammatory), improves cholesterol, promotes healthy skin and healthy hormone balance. 
• Carrots and red kumara – high in carotenoids (aids in skin and eye health) 
• Tomatoes – high in lycopene (a phytochemical with powerful antioxidant properties). 
• Broccoli – boosts oestrogen clearance and contains calcium for bone strength

Combining all these nutrients together, as you can see you have a wonderful concoction of nutrients that help you feel amazing.  I aim to have this once a week and it makes a delicious lunch pack using leftovers. 

Serves 4: Or two dinners and two lunches

Ingredients

Protein

• 800g Salmon

Carbohydrate

• 600g Kumara

Non-Starchy Vegetables

• 1 large Head of broccoli
• 4 Tomatoes
• 2 large Carrots

Healthy Fat

Sesame marinade

• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 4 tbsp Tamari sauce
• 2 tsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 tbsp Whole grain mustard (optional)
• Handful of spring onion

Garnish

• Sesame seeds
• Spring onion
• Lemon juice

Optional modifications

• Extra healthy fat – avocado, feta, (I always add avocado to this meal!)  

• Lower carb dinner – swap Kumara for carrot.

Method

1. Pre Heat oven to 180 degrees. Spray olive oil at the bottom of two separate baking trays.
2. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and slice the kumara and carrots into chip sized wedges, chop the broccoli florets off the stalks, and cut the tomatoes in half.
3. In one baking tray add the salmon, kumara, and carrots. In the other baking tray, add the broccoli and tomatoes.
4. Create the sesame marinade by combining the sesame oil, tamari sauce, honey, fish sauce, wholegrain mustard and spring onion into a bowl.  Pour marinade evenly over the salmon, kumara and carrots and then put in the oven to cook for 25-30mintes.
5. For the broccoli and tomatoes, spray with olive oil, add salt and pepper and add to the oven 10 minutes after the salmon.
6. Remove both trays once kumara is cooked, and once the broccoli is starting to brown.
7. Before serving, top the salmon with sesame seeds, spring onion and a final squeeze of lemon juice.
