BAKED HERB SALMON
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 200C /180C fan /gas mark 6.
2
Mix the Lurpak® butter with dill, chives and zest of both lemons, and season well.
TIP
Parsley and tarragon work well as alternative herbs.
3
Take a large enough piece of foil to wrap the whole of the salmon in and lay one side of the foil onto a large shallow roasting tray. Use a little of the butter to grease the foil and then scatter over the asparagus.
4
Lay the salmon, skin side down, over the vegetables and dot the Lurpak® butter over the flesh of the salmon, spreading with the back of a spoon. Pour the wine around the salmon and then fold the foil over and around the fish and seal the edges tightly.
TIP
You can replace the white wine with 150ml fish stock and a squeeze of lemon juice.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
TIP
Enjoy a perfectly tender baked herb salmon cooked easily in an air fryer. When preparing a large piece of salmon about 2-3 cm thick, the cooking time is usually about 15 minutes. If your salmon is thinner or thicker, take that into consideration when cooking up a juicy herb salmon.
6
To serve, squeeze the juice of one lemon over the salmon, cut the remainder into wedges and serve with buttered new potatoes.
