Tonight I decided to do a simple dish that I have quite regularly, which is oven baked salmon. It’s very quick to prepare, doesn’t need much tending to and tastes delicious! Pre-heat your oven to around 180 degrees C and wash your new potatoes if required. Put your potatoes into a baking tray and add a couple of knobs of butter along with some herbs. To prepare the salmon simply line a baking tray with some aluminium foil and lay the fillets on it. Add olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs over the fillets and wrap them in the foil to make a parcel.
Once the oven has reached temperature put the potatoes in and put the salmon in approximately five minutes later. The salmon should only need around 8-12 minutes if you’re cooking it from fresh; a little longer from frozen. Make sure to shake the potatoes in their tray during cooking to evenly coat them in the butter and herbs. You can serve various vegetables with this dish and this time (as it was a Friday ) was just some sweetcorn and peas that were simply boiled in some lightly salted water. You’ll need to put these on about five minutes after you put the salmon in.
That’s nearly my first week completed! It’s bangers and mash in a red wine and onion reduction on Saturday to round off the week.
