AWW recipe. Ingredients:
1 kg salmon fillet (whole side) |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, extra |
lemon wedge, for serving |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to moderately hot (200°C/180°C fan-forced). Place the salmon fillet in a large baking dish, brush with oil. Roast for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients, except the lemon wedges, in a medium bowl.
3. Remove salmon from oven, sprinkle with three-quarters of the parsley mixture. Roast salmon for a further 5 minutes. The salmon will be rare in the thicker end of the fillet. You can adjust cooking time to suit your taste.
4. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter; sprinkle with the remaining parsley mixture. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
5. Not suitable to freeze. Not suitable to microwave.
6. Cook's note.
7. The 10 minutes cooking time will give cooked-through salmon pieces on the tail end and pieces that are rare in the center on the thicker end. Adjust the cooking time to your taste.
