Directions
ROASTED VEGETABLES
Combine the pesto sauce, oil, lemon juice and black pepper in a shallow ovenproof dish. Evenly coat the salmon with the pesto marinade. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours in a refrigerator.
To cook the vegetables, place the peppers, onion, garlic and courgettes into a roasting tin. Mix well to ensure that they are coated in oil. Place in a preheated oven 220øC, 425øF, gas mark 7 for 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
Reduce the oven temperature to 200øC, 400øC, gas mark 6. Place the salmon into the oven and bake uncovered for a further 20 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily.
Place each steak on a small bed of roasted vegetables, and pour any remaining juices over the top. Serve with couscous and freshly chopped basil.
