Baked salmon with watermelon and avocado salad

Preheat oven to 200C.

Brush 4 salmon fillets (about 200g each) with olive oil and place on a baking tray lined with a large piece of foil. Top each with a thyme sprig, a slice of lime, salt and pepper. Bring foil edges together and seal well. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just cooked.

Place ¼ small watermelon (cut into 2cm pieces), baby spinach leaves and 1 ripe avocado (cut into 1cm pieces) in a bowl. 

Whisk 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove garlic (finely chopped), salt and pepper and toss through salad.

Remove salmon from foil, discard thyme and lime and serve with watermelon salad and lime wedges.
