Summer tray-baked salmon
This is one of those great dishes that you can really make your own by using whatever vegetables are in season – it's particularly nice with broad beans, asparagus or little halved cherry tomatoes. The fish doesn't take long to cook, so you can blanch your veg accordingly and then finish them off in the tray with the fish. It makes life a lot easier if you're cooking for the family or a large group of friends.
