Creamy Leek Salmon Traybake Food

CREAMY LEEK & SALMON TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan. Wash and half the bigger baby potatoes. Toss them with 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a baking tray. I like to line my tray with non-stick baking paper.
• Place in the oven and bake for 20min tossing halfway through.
• Meanwhile, slice in half and chop leeks. Give them a wash in a colander and drain the water well. Cook in a deep pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil for 10min. Then add cream, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 crushed garlic clove, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Prepare your fish. Use the knife to cut 3 small pockets than place the garlic slices inside. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Place half of the fresh lemon on top of each piece of fish.
• Take the potatoes out of the oven and make space in the middle of the tray. Place leeks and top them up with prepared salmon fillets.
• Place in the oven and bake for 7 to 8 min or until just cooked through. Enjoy with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a side salad, if you like.

CREAMY SALMON, LEEK & POTATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in a colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with ½ of the oil and plenty of seasoning in a baking tray. Put in the oven for 20 mins, tossing halfway through the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic for 1 min, then add the cream, capers and 75ml hot water, then bring to the boil. Stir through the chives.
• Heat the grill to high. Pour the creamy leek mixture over the potatoes, then sit the salmon fillets on top. Grill for 7-8 mins, or until just cooked through. Serve topped with extra chives and capers and a salad on the side, if you like.
