Method for Oven-Baked Salmon with Potatoes and Avocado Yoghurt Sauce

Step 1

Heat the oven to 220°C, preferably fan.

Step 2

Add 500 g halved potatoes, 300 g carrots, 1 onion, 200 g cherry tomatoes, and 2 crushed garlic cloves to a baking tray. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread out and roast for 25 minutes.

Step 3

Mix 1 grated garlic clove, 1 tsp grated ginger, ½ chopped chili, zest and juice of ½ lime, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub over 2–3 salmon fillets and set aside while the vegetables roast.

Step 4

Mash or blend 3 tbsp yoghurt, 2 tbsp crème fraîche, ½ avocado, juice of ½ lime, 1 small grated garlic clove, salt, and black pepper. Stir in 1 sliced spring onion and 2 tbsp chopped coriander.

Step 5

After 25 minutes, lower the oven to 200°C. Turn the vegetables, then place 2–3 marinated salmon fillets on the tray, skin-side down if they have skin.

Step 6

Bake for 10–14 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily but is still juicy.

Step 7

Serve the salmon with the roasted vegetables, avocado yoghurt sauce, and extra coriander or spring onion if desired.

Notes:

Do not marinate the salmon for too long; the lime juice can firm up the fish. Optional additions: celeriac with the potatoes, bell pepper for the last 15–20 minutes, or grated cheese over the potatoes near the end.
