Citrus salmon with dill gremolata

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 20 - 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 lemons, zested and sliced into 5 mm-thick rounds
1 blood orange or orange, zested and sliced into 5 mm-thick rounds
1 lime, zested and sliced into 5 mm-thick rounds
1 fresh jalapeño, sliced into 5 mm-thick rounds
2 shallots, peeled and sliced into 5mm-thick rounds
2 x 500 g salmon, portions
2 t salt
2 t black pepper, ground
1 ½ cups olive oil
1 bulb fennel, sliced and placed in iced water

For the gremolata:

40 g dill, finely chopped
20 g parsley, roughly chopped
50 g roasted and salted almonds, roughly chopped
1 T raw honey
1 ½ T fresh lemon juice
2 T extra virgin olive oil

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a large ovenproof dish with parchment paper. This will help prevent any ingredients from sticking to the bottom and make for easy cleaning up later.

2. Place half the sliced citrus, the jalapeño and shallots in the base of the baking dish. Reserve the citrus zest for the gremolata.

3. Season the salmon with salt and black pepper and place into the dish on top of the citrus, skin-side down. Scatter the remaining citrus slices atop and around the salmon. Pour over the olive oil and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20–30 minutes until the salmon is just tender. Remove from the oven and serve hot or at room temperature.

4. While the salmon bakes, dry the sliced fennel well using a tea towel or salad spinner and set aside. Make the gremolata by mixing the dill, parsley and almonds with the reserved citrus zest, honey, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl, checking the seasoning and balance.

5. To serve, dress the fennel slices in some of the gremolata and strew across the salmon in a rustic fashion. Serve the remaining gremolata alongside the salmon.

Cook’s note: The delicate fronds of the fennel bulb are beautiful and delicious. Use them to garnish the dish for an elegant look and feel.
