# Tandoori-style Salmon With Spiced ' Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes & Red Onion
[](https://bookstack.tblindustries.be/uploads/images/gallery/2020-12/WsRtUM7V7XgFjgdK-image-1608493500218.png)
#### Ingredients
- 3 cloves of garlic, grated
- 4cm fresh ginger, grated
- 75g natural yogurt
- 1 lemon, zest only
- 2 scant teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 scant teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon mild chili powder
- A large pinch of sea salt flakes
- 4 salmon fillets
- Natural yogurt, to serve
##### For the Sweet Potatoes
- 650g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 400g cherry tomatoes on the vine
- 1 red onion, roughly sliced
#### Method
1. This is my all-in-one dinner version of my sister Padmini's tandoori salmon, one of our favourite weeknight dinners when we were flatmates. It works beautifully with the lightly spiced sweet potato and tomatoes, just make sure you use one or two tins big enough to get all the sweet potatoes in a single layer, and cut the sweet potatoes into very small pieces so they cook in 30 minutes.
2. Mix the garlic, ginger, yogurt, lemon zest, spices and salt together and gently turn the salmon fillets over in this mixture. (This can be marinated in the fridge if you are preparing this ahead.)
3. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 210°c fan/230°C/gas 8. Tip the cubed sweet potatoes into a roasting tin large enough to hold everything in a single layer, mix them with the oil, cumin and salt, then transfer to the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
4. Once the sweet potatoes have had 10 minutes, tip the cherry tomatoes, their vines and the sliced onion into the tin, and mix well. Use a wooden spoon to make 4 spaces for the salmon fillets and gently pop them into the tin. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6, then return the tin to the oven for a final 20 minutes.
5. Serve the salmon and vegetables with the natural yogurt alongside.
#### Notes
- MAKE IT VEGGIE: Leave out the fish. Tear up large chunks of shop-bought paneer into roughly 5cm pieces, marinating them as above, and stir through some lime-dressed chopped spinach at the end.

[](https://bookstack.tblindustries.be/uploads/images/gallery/2021-05/mNbHoJ7jFnDhYzbe-image-1621799321703.png)
#### Ingredients
- 300g fish pie mix (or a mix of salmon,smoked haddock and cod, cut into 4cm chunks)
- 1 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets
- 1 stick lemongrass
- 2 Kaffir lime leaves
- 1x 160g tin of coconut cream
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- 1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
- Pinch of sea salt flakes
- 3 sheets of filo pastry
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
#### Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C0fan/200 0C/gas 6.
2. Tip the fish and broccoli into a small deep roasting tin with the lemongrass and lime leaves, then pour over the coconut cream, lime zest and juice and fish sauce.
3. Scatter over a pinch of salt, then scrumple the filo pastry sheets over the fish. Brush the pastry with olive oil (or spritz with olive oil spray),then transfer to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Serve hot.
#### Notes
- If your fish pie mix is frozen, you'll want to defrost it under plenty of cold running water, then pat the fish dry before putting it into the pie, otherwise too much liquid gets released.
- Smoked trout (forel), smoked salmon and regular haddock (schelvis).
# Crispy Baked Cod With Herby Broccoli, Peas and Beans
[](https://bookstack.tblindustries.be/uploads/images/gallery/2021-05/xazwD1jMpbJs50iy-image-1621800130258.png)
#### Ingredients
- 300g Tenderstem or ordinary broccoli
- 300g frozen peas
- 2 courgettes, cut into 5mm half moons
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt (optional)
- freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cod fillets
- 4 tsp green pesto
- 4 heaped tbsp panko or white breadcrumbs
- 1 x 400g tin of butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 a lemon, zest and juice
- a large bunch of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
#### Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
2. Pop the broccoli into a bowl, tip a kettleful of boiling water over it and leave to sit for 2 minutes, then drain well. (If the stems are very thick, halve them lengthways.) If using ordinary broccoli, skip this step.
3. Mix the broccoli, frozen peas and courgettes in a large roasting tin along with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the sea salt (if using) and a good grind of black pepper. I like to add the butter beans at the end, to just warm through in the residual heat of the roasting tin, but if you’d prefer them piping hot, stick them in now.
4. Lay the cod fillets over the vegetables, spread each with 1 teaspoon of pesto, scatter over the breadcrumbs, then drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Grind over some black pepper, then transfer to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes (20 if your cod fillets are quite thin, 25 if they are a little thicker).
5. Once cooked, stir in the butter beans (if you haven’t already), lemon zest, juice and fresh basil and serve the crispy baked cod hot.
