Helpful Tips
Preheat the Oven
Making sure your salmon is juicy and flaky is essential and works well as long as the oven has been preheated and it is at 210C fan forced.
Create your own Version
Change up the spices and types of beans you use. The variety and versions are limitless. A personal favourite is adding crushed fresh garlic to this version. Why not try it?
Add your favourite Side Dish
Pair it with roasted cauliflower, cucumber salad, rice, quinoa or even a simple pesto pasta.

Versatile for all Occasions
While it’s an easy recipe for dinner, it’s also perfect for entertaining. Prepare the salmon and refrigerate. Then, when guests arrive pop it in the oven. While it is cooking, prepare the bean salad.
