Citrus and Herb Baked Salmon with Smashed Potatoes and Rocket Salad
Salmon is such a quick and healthy meal. We've marinated it with a citrus and herb rub and oven baked it with some crispy crushed potatoes and a simple side salad of spinach and rocket. Did you know salmon is rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which are shown to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and decrease risk factors for disease? Healthy and delicous? We'll take that!

First Things First
Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.
As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
2 Baking Trays
Bowl
1 Start Potatoes
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 2 baking trays. Place chat potatoes in a microwave safe bowl with a little water, covered with a saucer or cling wrap and cook for 7-8 minutes until soft. Gently squash the potatoes on one of the baking trays be careful, do not completely mash them. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Tip! Check the potatoes once microwaved. They should be fairly soft and it can take up to ten minutes depending on your microwave and the size of the potatoes.
2 Prepare Rub
Zest lemon and cut into wedges. Pick and finely chop flatleaf parsley and thyme. Combine herbs, garlic, brown sugar, zest, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
3 Cook Salmon
Coat salmon fillets with the rub, place on the 2nd baking tray and add to oven with 12 minutes remaining on potatoes. Bake salmon to your liking. We like to keep it a little pink in the centre.
4 Dress Salad Leaves
Dress the rocket & baby spinach with a squeeze of lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning.
5 You Plate It
Serve the crispy potatoes with a piece of salmon on the top and rocket salad on the side with any remaining lemon.
