Equipment
- Roasting Dish
- Mixing bowl
- Food processor (optional)
Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 4 thick fillets of wild organic salmon
- 1 clove of garlic crushed
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of nutmeg
For the Salsa:
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Salsa: Chop the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds. Roughly chop the tomatoes, then combine them with the mint and parsley. Drizzle over the honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Mix well and set in the fridge to chill.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6. Add the olive oil and lemon juice to a roasting dish, stir, and allow to heat up with the oven.
- Prepare the Salmon: Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, remove the roasting dish. Add the crushed garlic and spices, mixing them to create a fragrant oil. While the oil is still hot, place the salmon in the dish, tossing it in the oil to coat evenly. Return to the oven, skin side down, and roast for 10 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven – the outside should be crispy, while the inside remains moist. Serve immediately with the chilled tomato and mint salsa.
