When it comes to dinner, I’m all over a tray-bake. Especially a harissa-spiced salmon tray-bake. Minimal washing, easy cooking and packed full of flavour. What’s not to enjoy? It’s a great dish to make if you feel like you’re in need of some extra omega-3 because this healthy meal will really start your week right. Basically, this is the meal I go for when I’ve had a heavy (super beige) weekend with maybe the odd takeaway and want to revitalise my body with all the good, tasty stuff…ahead of the next weekend.
