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.
