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!

And i usuallu shallow- pan fry the salmon, I will try your method. Thanks for the step by step pictures and the instructions. Helpful.

Saffron and Dill Rice

This rice dish is the perfect accompaniment for a variety of grilled meats such as grilled lamb or fish (take a look at my Oven Baked Garlic and Lemon Salmon recipe), it is also really tasty alongside roasted butternut squash for a really delicious vegetarian meal.  Ingredients:  ·       2 cups of basmati rice ·       ¼ cup ghee, you can use normal slightly salted butter if you don’t have this ·       ½ cup dill ·       1/8 cup dried mint ·       1 tsp saffron ·       1 tbsp milk Method:  1)     Add the rice to a pan with just enough water to cover it and some salt  2)     When there is only a little bit of water left add the ghee and herbs, and simmer until all the water has evaporated 3)     Once cooked remove 3 tbsps of rice into a separate bowl and mix it with the milk and saffron until the pigment of the saffron coats the rice and it becomes orange 4)     Add the saffron rice to the main rice dish and combine. Enjoy!
