An extremely quick and easy recipe, this simple summer salmon is elegant enough for a dinner party. I like to add a handful of different coloured tomatoes to the dish for added colour, even green ones when I have them in the garden.
Ingredients (serves 4)
4 salmon fillets
1 whole garlic bulb, halved
2 medium white onions, quartered
2 green capsicums (pepper), cut in 1”(2 cm) strips
2 yellow capsicum (pepper), cut in 1”(2cm) strips
2 vines cherry tomatoes
handful of small coloured tomatoes (optional)
4 tbsp olive oil
juice of half a lemon
2 rosemary sprigs
salt and pepper
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200 C/180 Fan & oil a baking dish large enough to hold the 4 fillets.
2. Place the onions, garlic, capsicum & the rosemary in the dish, drizzle over 2 tbsp of the olive oil, add the juice & sprinkle over some salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix well and roast for 15 minutes.
3. At the end of that time, place the salmon fillets on the vegetables.
4. Add the cherry tomatoes, sandwiching them nicely amongst the salmon.
5. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil on, along with the salt and pepper. Use a brush to brush and distribute the olive oil on to the salmon and vegetables, if need be.
5. Roast, uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the salmons are lightly browned.
Serve with sautéed baby potatoes, mango and avocado salsa, a green salad and some mayonnaise & a squeeze of lemon juice.
That is one nice salmon recipe….love it….its awesome….
