Easy Salmon Traybake

salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: trout fillets

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Canned salmon is more affordable and still provides omega-3s.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and works well for baking.

red onion

🥗Healthier: shallots

💰Cheaper: yellow onion

Yellow onion is more commonly available and less expensive.

asparagus

💰Cheaper: green beans

Green beans are often cheaper and provide a similar texture.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, red chili flakes, salt and pepper.

Spray a large baking tray with olive oil and add the asparagus, broccoli and cherry tomatoes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and toss them with the olive oil.

Spread the vegetables to make room for the salmon. Place the salmon fillets on the tray, skin down.

Brush each salmon fillet with the lemon garlic mixture. Do it evenly, covering all sides.

At this point, you can spray everything with some extra olive oil if you like.

Bake for 12 minutes or until the salmon is perfectly cooked and flaky. Timings may differ depending on the size of the fillets, but it will need to reach a minimum internal temperature of 120-130°F (49-54°C) for a medium-rare texture.

Once the tray is out of the oven, splash some more fresh lemon juice over everything and garnish with fresh parsley. And then dig in!
