Harissa Salmon & Chickpea Traybake

Traybakes are at their best when every part of the dish improves the others, and that is exactly what happens here. The chickpeas soak up the spicy tomato juices, the salmon stays tender, and the lemon at the end keeps the whole tray tasting lively. It is the kind of supper that looks as though you tried harder than you did.

Method
Serves 4 · about 45 minutes from start to finish.
Heat the oven to 200C / 180C fan.
Tip the chickpeas, red pepper and cherry tomatoes into a large roasting tray. Add 1 tbsp of the olive oil, the smoked paprika, a little salt and plenty of black pepper, then toss well.
Roast for 15 minutes until the tomatoes begin to slump and the chickpeas start to catch at the edges.
Rub the salmon fillets with the harissa paste and the remaining olive oil.
Move the vegetables aside slightly, nestle in the salmon and return the tray to the oven for 10-12 minutes until the fish is just cooked through.
Squeeze over the lemon wedges at the table and spoon the chickpeas and tomatoes around the salmon to serve.

Cook's tip
If your harissa paste is very fiery, mix it with a spoonful of water before rubbing it over the salmon so the heat is more even.
