Fish glaze
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 tbspn maple syrup
- 1 tbspn soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbspn garlic infused oil
- ½ tbspn sesame oil
- ½ tbspn vgetable oil
- 1 tspn ginger

- 50g pumpkin, diced
- 50g carrot, diced
- 8 broccoli heads
- 2 tbspn garlic infused oil
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 spring onions, green part only, finely chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 200oC/180oC fan/gas 6. To make the marinade add the soy sauce, garlic infused oil, sesame oil, ginger and lemon juice to a bowl. Mix well.
Using a zip bag, pour in the marinade and add the salmon, ensuring it’s coated well. Put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight.
Put the diced pumpkin, carrot and broccoli on a baking tray when ready for the meal. Drizzle with the oil and toss to make sure the veg is well coated. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the veg is golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and add to a frying pan with the oil. Sear the salmon skin side up for about 3 minutes. Flip the salmon so it’s skin side down and cook on a low heat for about another 4 minutes. The salmon should still be moist and slightly pink in the middle.
Transfer the cooked veg onto serving dishes and add the crumbled feta. Place the cooked salmon on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds and spring onion. Add seasoning to taste.
