Ingredients

Quantities are for 4 servings. Change the servings in the app to rescale them automatically.

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 500 g)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup broccoli, chopped
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • Seasoning: grated ginger and garlic
  • Sauce: 2 tbsp tamari and 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Step 1. Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan).

    Heat
    Oven to temperature (about 10-15 minutes)
    Look for
    The oil shimmers and flows like water; a drop of water sizzles instantly.
    Why it matters
    Food added to a properly hot pan sears and browns instead of steaming and sticking.
    Avoid
    Adding food to a cold pan: it sticks, turns grey and soaks up oil.

  2. Step 2. Toss the salmon with grated ginger and garlic and 2 tbsp tamari.

    Heat
    Off, no heat
    Look for
    Everything is evenly coated or just combined, with no dry pockets.
    Why it matters
    Mixing spreads salt, fat and flavour through the food so every bite tastes the same.
    Avoid
    Overmixing batters and doughs makes them tough; stop once just combined.

  3. Step 3. Spread on a lined sheet pan with the vegetables, leaving space between pieces.

    Heat
    Keep the heat steady
    Look for
    The new ingredient is coated and the mixture returns to a gentle bubble.
    Why it matters
    Adding things in order lets each ingredient cook for just the right time.
    Avoid
    Dumping everything in at once: delicate items turn mushy before tougher ones are done.

  4. Step 4. Roast for 32 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through.

    Heat
    Oven at the stated temperature (check with a thermometer if you can)
    Look for
    Bubbling edges, a golden top and a rich baked smell.
    Why it matters
    Gentle, steady heat softens tough fibres and lets flavours blend without drying things out.
    Avoid
    Opening the oven door repeatedly drops the temperature. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too fast.

  5. Step 5. Rest for 5 minutes.

    Heat
    Off, let it sit
    Look for
    Steam slows, juices settle and the dish firms up slightly.
    Why it matters
    Resting lets juices redistribute and flavours settle, and the food is easier to slice and eat.
    Avoid
    Skipping the rest: juices run out and the dish falls apart.

  6. Step 6. Scatter with spring onion and nori strips and serve from the pan.

    Heat
    Keep the heat steady
    Look for
    The new ingredient is coated and the mixture returns to a gentle bubble.
    Why it matters
    Adding things in order lets each ingredient cook for just the right time.
    Avoid
    Dumping everything in at once: delicate items turn mushy before tougher ones are done.
