Spiced salmon with traybaked sweet potato sag aloo

Method

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

  2. 2

    Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 6 mins. Drain in a colander and leave to steam dry for a few mins.

  3. 3

    Toss the potatoes in a roasting tin with 1 tbsp oil, the turmeric, ground cumin and chilli flakes and plenty of seasoning. Roast for 20 mins, tossing halfway through. Boil the kettle.

  4. 4

    Put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water until wilted. Use the back of a wooden spoon to squeeze out most of the water.

  5. 5

    Rub the salmon generously with the spice paste and drizzle with oil. Stir the spinach through the potatoes and top with the salmon, skin-side down. Increase the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Return to the oven for 20-25 mins or until the salmon is just cooked.

  6. 6

    Remove the salmon to stir the cream into the potatoes, then replace the salmon and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
