Saumon facile au four

Ingrédients

• 2 kg (4lb) side of salmon ((I always ask the fishmonger to pin-bone the fish for me but to leave the skin on))
• 1/2 cup butter (softened)
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tbsp fresh dill (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp thyme (finely chopped )
• 2 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• lemon wedges (to serve )

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F/205°C.

2. 2

   Combine the softened butter with minced garlic, finely chopped herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Dry the surface of the salmon with paper towels. The butter won't stick to the salmon if the surface isn't dried well.

4. 4

   Spread the butter all over the flesh-side of the salmon then transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Place the salmon into a hot oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the salmon is done to your preference.

6. 6

   Remove the salmon from the oven then allow to rest for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Slice and serve drizzled with the butter and lemon juice.
