Lemon Salmon
Simple, but very flavourful, this Lemon Salmon makes a bright and easy lunch for two on a sunny day! Happy Monday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 nice pieces fresh salmon
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.
Pat salmon pieces dry with paper towels, and place them in a small roasting tin.
Season with fleur de sel and black pepper, rubbing the seasoning gently into the flesh.
Generously grate lemon zest onto the salmon.
Then, thoroughly squeeze the juice of the lemon halve into a small bowl. Add olive oil, whisking until well-blended.
Brush the salmon with olive and oil mixture, and place in the middle of the hot oven.
Bake, at 200°C/395°F, for 25 minutes.
Just before serving, brush with remaining lemon and oil mixture to glaze.
Serve Lemon Salmon with green peas or Leeks.
