Sweet Mustard Salmon with Garlicky Veg

Ingredients

  • 750g baby new potato halved
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • juice 1 small orange
  • 2 tsp clear honey
  • 4 skinless, boneless, salmon fillets each weighing about 140g/5oz
  • 2 orange or red peppers
  • 250g sugar snap peas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (garlic-infused if you have it)

Method

  1. Set your oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Cook the halved potatoes in boiling water for 10 minutes until they are soft. While they cook, combine the mustard, orange juice and honey in a bowl by whisking to create the glaze. Coat the salmon fillets in this mixture and leave them aside. Prepare the peppers by removing the seeds and slicing them into thick strips.
  2. After draining the potatoes, transfer them to a shallow ovenproof dish or roasting tray along with the pepper strips and sugar snap peas. Add the oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Place the marinated salmon fillets over the vegetable mixture and pour any remaining glaze on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and beginning to colour.
