Brimming with vegetables, such as asparagus, sugar snap peas, and spring onions, it’s an easy way to increase your daily vegetable intake with hardly any effort.
Jamie Oliver said: “Going hard and fast with the grill adds an extra dimension of flavour, creating a satisfying meal.”

Golden miso salmon
Ingredients
Method
Preheat the grill to high. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and place the rest of the aspargus in a 25cm x 35cm roasting tray with the sugar snap peas, then drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil and shake to coat.
To make the marinade
Mix the miso, soy and sesame oil in a shallow bowl, then finely grate in the zest of one lime and squeeze in the juice to make a marinade.
Slice the salmon fillets in half lengthways, toss in most of the marinade, then drape the excess marinade over the vegetables in the tray. Scatter over the sesame seeds.
Grill for 12 minutes, or until the greens are blistered and the salmon is golden and just cooked through.
To make the pickle
Peel and matchstick the carrot, trim and finely chop the spring onions, finely slice the radishes, pick and roughly chop the mint leaves, then dress it all with lime juice, sea salt and black pepper.
Scatter the pickle over the cooked salmon in the tray, and serve. Delicious with noodles or fluffy rice on the side.
