Catherine Burns’s Salmon Tray Bake

A tasty summer recipe to combat all our rainy weather

Catherine Burns’s salmon tray bake

I would love to give you a barbecue recipe but given the weather we’ve had recently, I am worried that the current sunshine won’t stick.

So here’s the quickest one-pan tray bake for a healthy, tasty, summer dinner. Quick is important here. If you’re putting the oven on over the next few months, you’re going to want to make it snappy. Standing in a muggy kitchen is the last thing you need after a busy day!

I do love cooking but tend to procrastinate at the end of the day. When we get home from work and school, I tend to lay like a lizard on the warm brick patio, absorbing the heat and defrosting from a day of AC. Of course that hasn’t happened lately, I’ve been going for wet walks with the puppy instead. Either way, by the time I come in time has ticked along and it’s time to feed the rabble.

Making a one-pan tray bake is the easiest solution, plus it’s a totally versatile way of using up lonely veg that are in danger of tipping over the edge. All you do is marinade some fish, toss veggies in a little light olive oil and seasonings, roast the veg part-way, then make a space and add the other veg and fish. When the fish is done, the veg will be perfectly tender and everything will be delicious.

I always include one starchy option (potatoes, carrots, pumpkin or butternut squash) for a carb fix that is still loaded with fibre and nutrients. Then just pop the tray in the middle of the table and everyone can help themselves. Extra points if you serve a green salad on the side too. And it’s one less stress if you have picky eaters – they can very easily just pick out the bits they like (although do keep encouraging them to try new things)!

I’ve included my favourite recipe for this below but remember, you really can switch most of the ingredients around. Keep the concept but try different marinades, spices and vegetables. You just can’t switch the fish for KFC. That’s cheating.

When it comes to the marinade, you could make your own with a combo of lemon juice, olive oil and herbs/spices, but I have been loving the Acid League Barbecue Bourbon Peach Pit Sauce lately from Miles.

Acid League use fermented, living vinegars and keep the sugar content pretty low for something that tastes so sweet and delicious. They also do straight vinegars – Meyer Lemon & Honey, as well as Strawberry Rose. For any of you following the Glucose Goddess (@glucosegoddess on Instagram) hack of taking 1 tbsp vinegar before a meal to help lower glycemic levels – these are a delicious alternative to apple cider vinegar, plus they are a great base for home-made dressings. If you do try the hack, just dilute it with a little water and shoot it back. I don’t recommend sipping vinegar in water throughout the day as that has the potential to damage your tooth enamel.

OK, here’s the recipe. Enjoy!

Summer BBQ Salmon Tray Bake (serves 2)

Ingredients:

2 fillets salmon (ideally wild but any will do)

2 large carrots

1 yellow pepper

1 bunch broccolini

10 cherry tomatoes

2 tbsps light olive oil

1 tbsp maple syrup

? tsp cumin (if you have it)

Salt and pepper

Acid League barbecue Bourbon Peach Pit Sauce (or similar)

Method:

1, Marinade the salmon in approximately 2 tbsps sauce per fillet for at least 20 minutes.

2, Preheat the oven to 400F.

3, Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

4, Scrub the carrots (no need to peel) and cut into wide batons. Place on the baking sheet and toss in 1 tbsp light olive oil, 1 tbsp maple and ? tsp cumin. Pop in the oven for five minutes while your prep the other veg.

5, Chop the yellow pepper into large bite-sized wedges (stalk/seeds removed) and divide the broccolini stems into smaller pieces by slicing the larger stalks in half vertically. You can use almost all of the stalk – maybe cut off the bottom inch.

6, Remove the tray from the oven, add the pepper, broccolini and tomatoes, as well as the second tbsp of olive oil and some salt and pepper. Use some tongs to toss the veggies so everything is coated, then make a space in the centre of the pan for the fish.

7, Add the fish to the pan, leaving at least a 1in gap between the fillets. (It is fine to fill that gap with veg.)

8, Bake at 400F for 20 minutes. Rest for a few minutes before serving. And that’s it!

Equipment

9-inch Springform Pan

Ingredients

Crust:

1??cups?graham cracker crumbs
??cup?granulated sugar
??cup?unsalted butter?melted

Cheesecake Filling:

24?ounces?cream cheese?softened
1?cup?powdered sugar
1?teaspoon?vanilla extract
1??cup?heavy whipping cream

Topping:

21?ounces?cherry pie filling?1 can

Instructions

Prepare The Crust:

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust evenly. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Prepare The Cheesecake Filling:

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth.

Assemble The Cheesecake:

Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least?4 hours, or until set. Once the cheesecake is set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

Serve:

Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
For a firmer crust, press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the pan and chill while making the filling.
Feel free to swap the cherry topping with your favorite fruit or even a chocolate drizzle.
Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the perfect set.

KitchenAid Hand Mixer
Loaf Pan 8.5 x 4.5 x 3 Inch

Ingredients

1?cup?all-purpose flour
??cup?cocoa powder
??teaspoon?salt
5?large?eggs?separated, at room temperature
1?cup?butter?unsalted, at room temperature
1?cup?sugar?granulated
1?teaspoon?vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉. Spray a?8.5 x 4.5 x 2.75 inch loaf?pan generously with cooking spray.
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl; the flour, cocoa powder and salt.?
In a bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl mix the butter with the sugar until well combined and creamy.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla until well until combined.
Add half the flour mixture and half the egg whites and mix until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix well. Fold in the remaining egg whites with a spatula. Do not over mix!
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour. The cake is done baking, when a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the loaf pan for about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the loaf pan to loosen the cake in case it’s stuck and turn it over onto a cooling rack. Turn it upright and allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Whipping Egg Whites: Make sure egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume when whipping.
Creaming Butter and Sugar: Beat until the mixture is pale and fluffy; this can take several minutes but is crucial for texture.
Flavor Boost: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Test for Doneness: Ovens vary, so start checking the cake after 50 minutes.
