Salmon and broccoli bake

Food is kind of a love language — at least, we think it is. And chef extraordinaire Jamie Oliver is no salmon and broccoli bake to that idea.

Early in his relationship, when he and his future wife were working opposite work schedules, he used to leave packaged dinners in the fridge for her. One of the meals, his “salmon in a bag pepper chickpea,” is included in his latest cookbook “One: Simple One-Pan Wonders,” out now. But, you know, in a really serious way, that idea of a present or a gift, that’s what those bags are about, you know, creating little combinations that are utterly delicious. You can “bag” the salmon using tin foil but other materials work, too, if you’re out of foil. Parchment paper, Oliver says, can also do the trick. Finely slice the chorizo, then follow the rest of this method.

Salmon is one of the most common fish that we buy, so I wanted to share one of my favorite cooking methods for it. By creating a foil parcel, you not only beautifully steam the fish but also impart wonderful flavor from exciting ingredient combos, giving you a satisfying meal in just 15 minutes of oven time. Place a large sheet of thick aluminum foil in a roasting pan, leaving half overhanging. In a blender, make your chosen sauce, then spoon into the center of the foil in the pan.
