Ingredients

🍽 Serves: 6 | ⏱ 30 minutes

• Salmon Fillets (100g per person for entrée size)

• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

• 1 Lemon Zest

• 1 Tbsp of Capers (drained)

• 1 Bunch of Parsley (chopped)

• 1 Bunch of Chives (chopped)

• 1 Bunch of Dill (chopped)

• 3 Tbsp of Dijon Mustard

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180° and line a tray with baking paper.

2. Place salmon pieces on the baking tray, skin side down and drizzle with EVOO, season with salt and pepper.

3. Bake the salmon on the top shelf of your oven for about 10 minutes (note: it will continue to cook somewhat after coming out of the oven)

4. While the salmon cooks, combine the lemon, capers and herbs in a bowl with salt and pepper to season.

5. Transfer salmon to a serving platter, spread with mustard on top and spoon on a generous layer of herbs.

💡We like to serve this with sliced tomato, bocconcini, basil and EVOO salad finished with a pinch of rock salt and a solid grind of pepper
