• Garlic cloves 3
• Chilli flakes 1 tsp
• Smoked paprika 1 tsp
• Olive oil 2 tbsp
• Lemon 1
• Fresh parsley small bunch
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C / 180°C Fan / Gas Mark 6. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the vegetables: deseed and slice the bell peppers, slice the red onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onion with 1 tbsp of olive oil, chilli flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.
5. Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes.
6. While the vegetables roast, pat the salmon fillets dry with kitchen paper. Brush them with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
7. After 15 minutes, carefully remove the baking tray from the oven. Push the roasted vegetables to the sides of the tray and place the seasoned salmon fillets in the centre.
8. Juice half of the lemon and drizzle it over the salmon and vegetables. Slice the remaining half of the lemon and place the slices on top of the salmon fillets.
9. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
10. Chop the fresh parsley. Serve the spicy salmon and peppers immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
