Ingredients
2 tbsps lemon juice
4 tsps light muscovado sugar
1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
4 tsps chopped fresh dill
4 tsps light soy sauce
4 salmon steaks
freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, 400°F, Gas Mark 6.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, sugar, ginger, dill and soy sauce to form a glaze, and season with black pepper.
- Place 1 salmon steak in the bowl and toss in the glaze. Repeat with the remaining 3 steaks. Transfer the salmon to an ovenproof dish and pour the marinade over.
- Bake in the oven for 8 – 10 minutes until just cooked. Serve with salad or seasonal vegetables.
The fish can also be cooked under a hot grill for 6 – 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pieces. Check the fish is cooked by carefully pulling the flesh apart, using 2 knives. The flesh inside should be light pink in colour and not wet in appearance. When cooked, the flesh will flake away from the skin easily.
