Oven Baked Garlic and Lemon Salmon



Whether you’re looking for a light and quick dinner or something to serve up for a party, this oven baked salmon works perfectly each time and it’s so quick and easy to make.



Ingredients: 

·     5 pieces of salmon (my salmon was sliced by the fishmonger with the skin on but filleted skinless salmon works perfectly too!) 
·     1 lemon slice
·     Juice of half a lemon
·     2 cloves of garlic chopped finely
·     8 tbsps olive oil
·     1 tbsps dried oregano
·     1 tbsps dried dill
·     1 tsp paprika
·     Salt and pepper to taste

Method: 

1)   In a bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, dill, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper. 


2)   Line a baking tray with a piece of foil and brush a little bit of the olive oil mixture onto the tray
3)   Place your salmon onto the tray placing the lemon slice in between each piece
4)   Generously brush each piece with the olive oil mixture, ensuring that each piece is well coated



5)   Bake for 35 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes under the grill to give it a beautiful colour and its ready to serve. Enjoy! 


Here I’ve served the salmon with the saffron and dill rice and ratatouille. For a lighter meal you can serve it with the ratatouille alone or a salad. Let me know how you serve it in the comments below!

Karahi Gosht (Indian Meat Curry)

Hello there! My name is Maliha, and I'm what you would call a typical foodie. Not only do I love going out to eat but I love cooking food myself belonging to a variety of cuisines. I enjoy taking traditional recipes and breaking them down to make them easy, simple, and most importantly- quick! The first recipe I'd like to share is my absolute favourite Indian take-away curry made easy- a Karahi Gosht. A Karahi Gosht is a very rich meat curry, packed with a deep depth of flavour which one can only imagine takes ages and ages. However, I've managed to condense the recipe down whilst packing just as much punch! To start off, chop one onion into slices, place it in a pan with a glug of oil, and some ginger and garlic puree.  Once the onions are slightly transparent, add the meat; I used pre-boiled and frozen mutton.  As my meat was frozen in its own stock, I did not need to add any water. However, if your meat is raw then add one cup of w...

Potato Gnocchi
