Serves 4
Ingredients
4 fish fillets, salmon or other
Marinade
2 tbsp. light balsamic or other good quality vinegar
Juice and rind/zest of 1 lemon or lime
1 tbsp. French style whole mustard
5-6 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. fresh dill, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 spring/green onion or a few chives, thinly chopped
Salt to taste
A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Mix all ingredients, except salmon, in a bowl.
Add salmon fillets and coat well.
Marinate for 3-4 hours or overnight in a fridge in an airtight container.
Cooking
Line a tray with aluminium foil, brush it with a little oil. This stops the fish from sticking to the foil. Close the parcel.
Cook for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven at 175-180C.
Alternatively, preheat grill at maximum. Grill on a lined tray for 6-7 minutes on each side.
Or pan fry for 6-7 minutes on each side on a medium hot (not smoking hot) pan.
The flesh is ready when it begins to flake a little, when gently parted with a knife.
Serving
Serves with a salad of choice and fresh bread or with new potatoes and green vegetables or with rice pilaf.
