Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and line a large baking sheet with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Cut the bell pepper into strips 1 cm (1/2 in) wide, slice the red onion into thin wedges and halve the cherry tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Toss the pepper strips and onion on the sheet with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for 10 min to give them a head start.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, mince the garlic. Grate the zest of one lemon, squeeze 2 tbsp of its juice and slice the second lemon into thin rounds.

  5. 5

    Stir the garlic, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice and the remaining 3 tbsp of olive oil together in a small bowl.

  6. 6

    Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Take the sheet from the oven, push the vegetables to the edges and scatter the tomatoes over them. Set the salmon skin side down in the middle.

  8. 8

    Spoon the lemon-oregano oil over the salmon and lay 2-3 lemon rounds on each fillet.

  9. 9

    Roast for 12-15 min, until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily at the thickest part, 63 °C (145 °F) inside.

  10. 10

    Rest the pan for 2 min, then serve the salmon with the vegetables and the pan juices spooned over.
