fish meal

This is a recipe you should feel free to adapt with what you have available at home.  It is designed to have a few roasted vegetables, a few fresh vegetables, herbs, a little feta or similar fresh cheese and of course a piece of salmon.

There were two cooking stages,  all in the same roasting dish. First, the cauliflower and sweet potatoes first, then the fish and a little chickpeas. And finally herbs, a few crumbs of feta and some cherry tomatoes.  Over that, a dash of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, a splash of lemon and dinner is ready.
