This is a weeknight dinner that looks after itself: the salmon and greens roast together while the quinoa simmers on the hob.

Salmon is a source of high-quality protein and omega-3 fats. Paired with quinoa and green vegetables, it gives a complete, filling plate after an evening session.
+Can I use frozen salmon?

Method

Start the quinoa
Heat the oven to 200°C fan. Put the quinoa and stock in a pan, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Leave covered off the heat.

Roast the greens
Toss the broccoli and courgette with half the oil on a baking tray and roast for 8 minutes.

Add the salmon
Mix the remaining oil with the lemon zest, garlic and chilli. Push the vegetables aside, add the salmon skin-side down, brush with the garlic oil and add the lemon wedges. Roast for 12–15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
Tip: The salmon is ready when the centre turns opaque and flakes with a fork.
