Balsamic Roasted Salmon and Broccoli

This is one of my most favourite quick, healthy and delicious meals. I make it for lunch a lot and also when I'm on my own for dinner.

Ingredients

1 salmon filet (aprox. 250g)
2 handfulls of bite-size broccoli florrets
1/4 of a red onion, fine sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinagarette
1 tsp red chili flakes
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
2. Break up your broccoli florrets into bite sized peices. Slice your onion. Place noth into a small casserole dish with a lid. I use my Epicure cheese baker and it works perfect.
3. Season your broccoli with half the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste and all of the red chili flakes. Mix until well coated.
4. Place your salmon filet on top of the broccoli bed. Drizzel the salmon with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
5. Place the lid on or cover with tinfoil. Put in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes. At the 10 minute mark, check the middle of your salmon to see if it's flaking, then you can judge how much longer it needs. The thickness of your filet will affect cook time.
6. This dish is done when the salmon is juicy and flaky and the broccoli slightly caramalized, tender and crisp at the same time.
