Garlic and basil baked salmon with vibrant fennel salad.
Ingredients:
  • 8 x 120g salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 345.00 gm grapeseed oil
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled and bruised with knife
  • 125.00 ml basil leaves
  • 1 small bulb fennel, trimmed, finely shredded
  • 1 bunch coriander, leaves picked
  • 4.50 gm white sugar
  • 1 lime, rind finely grated and juiced
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 90C or 70C if fan-assisted. Carefully remove all fine bones from the salmon fillets using clean fish tweezers or household tweezers.
  • In a large baking dish, generously coat the bottom with oil. Arrange the salmon in a single layer, then sprinkle with garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and bake for 30-35 minutes until the salmon is firm. Once done, let it cool to room temperature before serving.
  • Toss fennel and coriander together. Mix lime rind, juice, and sugar, then add to the fennel mixture. Chill before serving.
  • Before serving, gently take out the salmon from the oil bath and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the fish-infused oil over the fennel mixture, toss gently to mix. Pile the flavorful fennel salad on top of the succulent salmon fillets. Serve the dish at room temperature.
