Are you constantly on the go but still want to indulge in an elegant, delicious meal? Look no further! My "Quick n' Creamy Salmon" recipe is perfect for those with busy lifestyles. It's a quick and easy dish that never compromises on flavor or sophistication.
Ingredients:
- Salmon fillets or darnes
- Seasoning of choice (e.g., piri piri salt, lemon and herb)
- Vegetables (asparagus, green beans, mashed potato)
- Hollandaise sauce
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 160°C for a fan oven or 200°C for a non-fan oven.
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.
Season Salmon: Lay the salmon fillets or Darns skin-side down on the baking paper. Add your choice of seasoning—Piri Piri salt or a lemon and herb blend works wonders.
Bake Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes. A good rule of thumb is to bake it for roughly 4 minutes per centimetre of thickness. Adjust the cooking time accordingly if your salmon is thinner or thicker.
Vegetable Prep Tip: Be sure to prep your veggies ahead of cooking the salmon. The fish cooks super-fast, and you don’t want it to get cold while you wait on your veggies!
Serving Suggestion
Pair your perfectly cooked salmon with a mix of asparagus and green beans (you can cook these from frozen to save money and reduce waste), a bit of mashed potato, and some hollandaise sauce for an elegant and satisfying meal.

Looking to Make it Healthier?
If you want to make this dish even healthier, consider the following tips:
Reduce the Sauce: Use a lighter sauce like a lemon-dill yogurt sauce instead of hollandaise.
Swap the Sides: Replace mashed potatoes with a healthier grain like quinoa or cauliflower rice.
Steam the Veggies: Instead of cooking the vegetables in oil, steam them to retain nutrients without adding extra calories.
