MARINATED SALMON - Serves 4 Sounds quite boring but is tasty and lovely in hot weather!
Syn Free
One and a half pounds fresh salmon fillet
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Half a tsp of fresh dill (or could use freeze-dried)
Half tsp of dried oregano
Half a tsp of dried crushed red peppers (if you can't find them, you could add a quarter tsp of dried chilli flakes
Mix together the lemon zest, the lemon juice, garlic, dill, oregano, dried peppers/chilli and a pinch of salt. Spray the mixture liberally with Frylight.
Spray the salmon fillet, on both sides, with Frylight and place in a food bag, pouring in the marinade. Hold the neck of the bag firmly closed whilst massaging the marinade into the fish to coat it evenly. Refrigerate and leave in the bag for 25-30 minutes.
Once marinated, place the fish on a foil lined baking tray, skin side down, with all the marinade sprinkled over and bake for about 15-20 minutes at 200C/gas 6. It's easier to serve if you slice the fillet into four before placing in the oven.
The salmon can also be grilled or fried, if you prefer.
This is a lovely, light, summery meal, especially when served with a salad of lettuce, baby spinach, cucumber, tomato and red onion, with HEX portions of Feta cheese mixed through.
It also goes beautifully with some of the following cold tzatziki dressing spooned over.
