  • 400g peeled pumpkin, scrubbed and diced 2cm
  • 2 courgettes, sliced into 1cm-thick rounds
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
  • 50g slivered almonds
  • 100g feta cheese
  • ½ bag rocket leaves

ORANGE-GLAZED SALMON

  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon runny honey
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Steps

  4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook salmon, skin-side-down, for about 4 minutes, until skin is crispy. Flip and cook a further 2 minutes for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Set aside and cover to keep warm.

  6. Once pumpkin is tender, remove from oven, sprinkle over almonds and roast a further 5 minutes, until almonds are golden brown and pumpkin and courgette are cooked through. Remove tray from oven, sprinkle over feta and rocket and toss to combine.
