Herb Crusted Salmon for Father’s Day
An easy idea for cooking up a memorable Father's Day lunch.
If you don’t want to use the whole bulb of roasted garlic you can keep any spare in a small jar or tub with a lid, just top up with olive oil to cover and store for up to two weeks in the fridge. It’s great used in dressings, spread on toast or a pizza!
You can use dried herbs but then you’ll only need about one third the amount as the flavour is more concentrated than in fresh herbs.
Ingredients
-
2 BigFish plain Salmon Fillets
(or use our Organic if you prefer!) defrosted according to pack instructions
- 1 jar Dijon mustard
-
150-300g of fresh chopped herbs
we suggest a mix of parsley, coriander, basil and rosemary.
-
A bulb of garlic
for roasting
-
Spring onions
to garnish
- Olive oil
Method
-
1.
Heat the oven to gas mark 6/200°C (180°C fan). Separate the garlic cloves, then pop them (unpeeled) in a dish or on a baking sheet, lightly coating in a little olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes in the oven until the skin is lightly browned and the cloves are soft. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Turn the oven down to gas 3/170°C (150°C fan).
-
2.
While the garlic is cooking, prepare the salmon fillets. Place them in a dish and cover very generously with mustard, use at least 150g (even the whole jar!)
-
3.
Mash at least six cloves of roasted garlic (more if you like) and mix with the chopped herbs, then cover each fillet completely with this mixture.
-
4.
Wrap the fillets in tin foil and bake for 20 minutes. Check halfway through to make sure you don’t overcook, bearing in mind that thicker fillets will take slightly longer.
-
5.
Now serve, garnishing with a little finely chopped spring onion. We enjoyed this dish with some nice wild rice and steamed spinach, or you could maybe try it with new potatoes and seasonal English asparagus!
