Vegetables
🔥 Step-by-step cooking
1. Roast the vegetables
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Chop vegetables into even pieces
- Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika
- Spread on a baking tray
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway

3. Cook the salmon
- Place salmon on a baking tray or pan
- Brush generously with the garlic herb mixture

4. Cook the shrimp

- Add a little butter or oil
- Toss shrimp with remaining marinade
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly curled
