Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets
• 1 can tinned tomatoes
• 1 cup frozen spinach
• 1/2 cup frozen mixed peppers
• 1/2 cup frozen sweet corn
• 1 cup frozen onions
• 2 teaspoons lazy garlic (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Pour in the tinned tomatoes, followed by the spinach, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
5. Nestle the salmon fillets on top of the vegetable mixture. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and season the salmon with salt and pepper.
6. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a refreshing touch!
