A calm weeknight dinner: cauliflower gets a head start in a hot oven, then salmon joins it with lemon, garlic and a little smoked paprika. One tray, very little washing up, and plenty of good fat to keep you full.
Serves 4. About 15 minutes hands-on and 30 minutes in the oven. Let the salmon rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Fasting: This is a full meal, so it ends a fast. It works well as the main meal of your eating window, and is gentle enough to break a longer fast if you keep the portion moderate.
Ingredients
- 600 gsalmon fillets · 4 pieces, skin on or off
- 600 gcauliflower · cut into small florets
- 45 mlolive oil · divided
- 3garlic cloves · finely chopped

Steps
- Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.
- Spread the cauliflower on the tray in one layer and roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining olive oil with the garlic, lemon zest, half the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
- Pat the salmon dry and brush the tops with the garlic and lemon mixture.
- Push the cauliflower to the sides, place the salmon in the middle and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.
- Rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then squeeze over the rest of the lemon juice and scatter with parsley.
Tip. Cut the cauliflower into small, even florets so it browns in the time the salmon takes; large pieces stay pale and soft.
