Soften the onions

  • Heat your oven to 240ºC/fan 220ºC/gas 9.
  • Peel and cut the onions into 6 wedges. Peel the celeriac and cut it into 2cm cubes. Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes, too.
  • Put the cubes on a baking tray lined with baking paper, spritz with cooking spray and lightly season. Roast for 25-30 mins.

Bake the salmon

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice half the lemon and cut the other half into wedges.
  • Put the salmon on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spritz with cooking spray. Add 1 lemon slice per fillet and bake for 12-14 mins, until the salmon is cooked through and flaking.

Toss the salad

  • At the same time, finely chop half the dill. Cut the cucumber into thin slices, and chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Trim the radishes, then halve each and slice into thin half-moons.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the dill, cucumber, tomatoes and radishes. Stir in the salad leaves, squeeze in a little juice from a lemon wedge (to taste) and toss.

Plate up

  • Plate up the roasted roots and top with the salmon and capers. Drizzle over the yogurt, scatter over the remaining dill and serve with the salad and lemon wedges on the side.
