Slow Roasted Salmon RecipeRecipe: Slow Roasted Salmon

The Only Way To Cook Salmon

It can be tricky cooking salmon correctly, it often comes out dry and fishy-tasting when cooked too long. This is the result when the natural fat content has been too quickly and harshly forced out of the flesh.

Slow roasting a salmon filet allows the juices to remain and gently baste the flesh inside and out. Once you have tried this technique you won’t want to cook salmon any other way again.

Salmon toppings

For this recipe, a fresh zingy herb and roasted lemon salsa is teamed up with the delicious juicy slow-roasted salmon and then decadently and generously drizzled with chili oil. What a magical combination! Dill pairs famously with salmon, but instead a Mediterranean flavour, the salsa has a Middle Eastern twist with the use of Za’atar, chilli and almond flakes. Not spicy, but rather ‘well spiced’.
