Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large oven dish or tray with baking paper. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.

Step 2

Cut any larger potatoes in half so all potatoes are roughly the same size. Cook in boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or until just tender.

Step 3

Toss courgettes and cherry tomatoes with olive oil in prepared dish or tray, and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and remove any remaining bones. Remove tray from oven and place salmon fillets, skin-side-down, on tray with tomatoes and courgettes. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of basil pesto over each piece of salmon and season everything well with salt and pepper. Return to oven to bake for a further 8-10 minutes until salmon and vegetables are just cooked through.

Step 5

Drain potatoes and crush lightly with a fork. Mix through lemon zest and juice, olive oil and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 6

To Serve Spoon some crushed potatoes, courgettes, and tomatoes onto each plate. Serve with a piece of salmon on the side and serve with extra basil pesto.
