Baked Salmon


This dish is so simple and yet so tasty.


Ingredients:
50g butter
finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
freshly ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 x salmon fillets, skinned
1 x tablespoon mixed herbs
Lemon wedges to garnish

Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Melt the butter in a small roasting tin and add the lemon rind and juice. Season with plenty of salt and pepper.
Lay the salmon fillets in the roasting tin and turn them around in the lemony butter, ending up skinned-side down. Place in the oven for 7-8 minutes until cooked through but still moist inside. To test whether the salmon is done, give the fattest part a gentle squeeze and it should give slightly - if it's still wobbly, pop it back into the oven for another couple of minutes. If it feels solid, it's overcooked.
Serve with salad and tuck in!
