1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

- Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
- Zest half the lemon (double for 4p). Chop the lemon into quarters.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
- Pop the carrots onto a large (lined) baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

- When the potatoes have been in the oven for 10-15 mins, pop the carrots onto the middle shelf.

4
- Meanwhile, place a large pan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Once the butter has melted, carefully place the salmon into the pan skin-side down. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.
- Cook for 6-7 mins on one side before turning over and cooking for 6-7 mins on the other side.
5
- Add the chives, paprika and garlic to the pan along with the juice of 2 lemon wedges (double for 4p).
- Spoon the chive butter sauce over the fish for 1-2 mins, then remove the pan from the heat. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
6
