Jamie Oliver Salmon Traybake Food

TRAYBAKED KERALAN FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160ºC/325ºF/gas 3.
• Peel and finely slice the onions, garlic and ginger, then deseed and finely slice the chillies. Pick the coriander leaves, finely chopping the stalks, and deseed and slice the peppers.
• Put your largest roasting tray on the hob over a medium heat, and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the spices and curry leaves and fry for 2 minutes, then add the chopped veg, garlic and coriander stalks. Cook for 15 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Place the salmon into the tray, skin-side down. Season with sea salt and black pepper, and drizzle lightly with oil. After 1 minute, carefully turn the salmon skin-side up, then place the tray in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the salmon is almost cooked through.
• Quarter the tomatoes, and run the tip of a knife down the backs of the prawns and pull out the vein, meaning they'll butterfly as they cook.
• Remove the tray from the oven and preheat the grill to full whack. Carefully peel the skin off the salmon and place onto a piece of tin foil.
• Stir the tomatoes, prawns and coconut milk into the tray, then finely grate over the zest from 1 lemon and squeeze over the juice. Gently simmer on the hob over a medium-low heat until the prawns are just cooked through.
• Place the salmon skin under the grill for 5 minutes, or until lovely and crisp, then leave to cool.
• Break the salmon into big chunks. Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice, then snap up and scatter over the crispy salmon skin.
• Sprinkle over the coriander leaves and serve with lots of lemon wedges for squeezing over.

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.

SALMON TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Tumble the onions, peppers, courgette, garlic and medium tomatoes into a shallow roasting tray. Pour over 3 tbsp olive oil, season with sea salt and ground black pepper, then gently toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes.
• Add the vine tomatoes to the tray and lay the salmon fillets on top. Season, then drizzle with a little more oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Return to the oven for 10-12 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Scatter with fresh basil leaves to serve.

ASIAN SALMON & SWEET POTATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
• Scrub the sweet potato, then slice into thin rounds. Arrange the slices, overlapping, in a large roasting tin.
• Bruise the lemongrass, then finely chop the tender parts. Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic. Finely slice the chilli.
• Mix the sesame oil, stock, coconut milk and two-thirds each of the lemongrass, ginger and garlic. Pour over the potatoes, tuck in the lime leaves (or squeeze the juice on top and scatter over the zest) and sprinkle over the chilli.
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are done. About 8 to 10 minutes before the cooking time is up, sit the fish on the potatoes and top with the rest of the lemongrass, ginger and garlic.
• When the fish is just cooked, drizzle with soy sauce, if you like. Delicious served with green beans and mangetout.

ROASTED SALMON & VEG TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.
• Scrub the potatoes clean, halving any larger ones, then cook in a pan of boiling salted water over a medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Trim the green beans and add to the pan for the final 2 minutes. Pick the basil leaves.
• Drain the veg and tip into a large bowl. Halve and add the tomatoes, then destone and add the olives along with half the basil leaves.
• Add ½ a tablespoon of olive oil, toss together and tip into a roasting tray. Shake into an even layer and season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Place the salmon fillets into the bowl, add ½ a tablespoon of olive oil, and squeeze in the juice of ½ a lemon. Season lightly and toss to coat.
• Lay the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Slice off 4 rounds of lemon and lay on top of the fillets, then roast for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
• To make the basil & mustard yoghurt, bash the remaining basil leaves in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt. Peel and add the garlic and bash again.
• Scrape the mixture into a bowl and add the mustard, 4 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt and the remaining lemon juice. Add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, mix well, season to taste and serve with the salmon traybake.

• Preheat oven to 350°F Place roasting pan in oven to heat.
• Blanch the green beans in salted, boiling water until tender. Drain and place in a mixing bowl with the cherry tomatoes and olives. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper.

SPICED SALMON & TOMATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the onion, tomatoes, 2 tbsp curry paste, the chickpeas and 200ml water together in a deep 20 x 25cm roasting tin. Roast for 15 mins until the onions are tender and the tomatoes are just bursting.
• Stir everything, then season. Brush the remaining curry paste over the salmon fillets and season. Nestle the salmon into the veg in the tin and roast for another 8-10 mins, or until cooked to your liking.
• Meanwhile, warm the naan breads - you can do this by putting them directly on the oven rack below the roasting tin. Cut the warmed naan breads into wedges. Swirl the yogurt into the veg in the tin, then serve with the naan wedges for dunking, a few coriander leaves sprinkled over, if you like, and the lemon wedges, if using, for squeezing over.

TRAY BAKED SALMON WITH OLIVES, GREEN BEANS, ANCHOVIES AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Tail the green beans, blanch them until tender in salted, boiling water, and drain. Put in a bowl with the cherry tomatoes and the stoned olives. Toss in the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Give the salmon fillets a quick wash under the tap and pat dry with kitchen paper towels. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the fillets, on both sides, then season both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Preheat the oven and a roasting tray at the highest temperature. Put your 4 fillets of salmon at 1 end of the roasting tray. Toss the basil into the green beans, olives and tomatoes and place this mixture at the other end of the tray. Lay the anchovies over the green beans. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and serve with lemon quarters.
• This is very tasty with some homemade mayonnaise or aioli.
• Smash up the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle (if you don't have a mortar and pestle you can very finely chop the garlic). Place the egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and whisk. Then start to add your olive oil bit by bit. Once you've blended in a half cup of the olive oil you can start to add the rest in larger amounts. When you've added it all, you can add the garlic and lemon (to taste) and any extra flavors such as basil, fennel tops, dill, chopped roast nuts. To finish just season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice. Yield: 8 servings
