Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 Skin-on boneless salmon filets
Vegetables
- 300 grams baby potatoes, cubed (6 baby potatoes)
- 250 grams bell peppers, cubed (2 cups)
- 250 grams eggplant, medium size, cubed
- 3 shallots, halved
Sauce/Marinade
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tsps seafood seasoning
- 2 tsps Italian herb seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt and cracked black pepper
- 1 juice of 1 whole lemon + slices for serving
- 2 tsps toasted sesame seeds
Garnish/Serve
- chopped fresh parsley
- lemon slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 200 C degrees / 400 F degrees and place the rack closer to the bottom of the oven.
- Dry the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry, don't add seasoning now and place them on a plate or tray and set them aside in the fridge, without any wrapping or packaging. They will dry better.
- Prep the vegetables: On a baking sheet, add the chopped vegetables, eggplants, bell peppers, shallots and potatoes.
- Dressing/Sauce: Mix the dressing ingredients together in a jar and pour part of the dressing over the vegetables. Mix, using a spoon making sure all the vegetables are well coated.
- Add the salmon: Move the vegetables to the side, making space in the center of the baking sheet and place the salmon fillets skin-side down between the veggies. Pour the remaining sauce over the salmon fillets and sprinkle a little salt and pepper over them.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven, and place the salmon fillets on a plate, set aside. Return the vegetables to the oven and bake another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Serve & Garnish: Serve with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley.
