Ingredients:
500g salmon
chopped parsley for garnish
Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce:
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons raw honey
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
salt to taste
Method:
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with a large enough piece of foil that you could fold over and seal to create a packet later on. Place salmon in the centre of the foil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, add garlic cloves, dijon mustard, butter, lemon zest, honey, smoked paprika, basil, red pepper flakes, pepper and salt. Mix everything together until combined.
Step 3
Pour lemon garlic butter mixture over the salmon and then fold foil up around it to create a tent.
Step 4
Place in oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until it is cooked to your liking.
Step 5
Remove salmon from oven and turn grill onto HIGH.
Step 6
Unfold the foil so the salmon is uncovered. Place salmon back under grill for 2 to 3 minutes until there is slight browning over caramelisation on top.
Step 7
Remove from oven. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serve.
