Lemony Salmon & Mediterranean-style Veg Bulgur
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6

  2. Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

  3. Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks

  4. Chop your cherry tomatoes in half

  5. Peel and roughly chop your red onion[s]

  6. Boil half a kettle

  7. Add the chopped tomatoes and onion to a baking tray (or two) with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

  8. Put the tray[s] in the oven for 10-15 min or until the onion is cooked and starting to crisp

  9. While the tomatoes and onion are cooking, add your bulgur wheat and vegetable stock mix to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a pinch of salt (the same as you would for pasta)

  10. Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 7-9 min or until tender with a slight bite

  11. Once cooked, drain and return to the pot and set aside until later

  12. Meanwhile, remove and discard the skin from your salmon fillet[s]

  13. Combine the juice of your lemon[s] with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil, your dried oregano, half of the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!) and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl

  14. Give everything a good mix up – this is your herb marinade

  15. Dip the salmon fillet[s] in the herb marinade (reserve the remaining marinade)

  16. Roughly chop your cucumber and add to a bowl with your natural yoghurt and the remaining chopped garlic (don't like raw garlic? Just add half!)

  17. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up – this is your tzatziki

  18. Once the tomatoes and onion[s] are crisp, add them to the cooked bulgur with the chopped parsley and give it a good mix up – this is your Mediterranean-style veg bulgur

  19. Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat

  20. Once hot, add the coated salmon to the pan and cook for an initial 4-5 min

  21. After 4-5 min, turn the salmon, add the remaining herb marinade to the pan and cook for a further 4-5 min or until the salmon is cooked through - this is your lemony salmon

  22. Serve the lemony salmon over the Mediterranean-style veg bulgur with the tzatziki on the side
