Ingredients

  • 4 x 200g Salmon portions - skin off. Pat dry

  • Olive oil

  • 1 x Orange sliced - 1/2cm thick

  • 1/2 x Lemon sliced - 1/2cm thick

  • 60g x Butter

  • For the Rub

  • 2 x Tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 x Teaspoons paprika sweet

  • 1 x Teaspoon cumin ground

  • 1 x Teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 x Garlic large clove - minced

  • Juice x 1/2 lemon

  • 1/2 x Teaspoon Aleppo pepper - important

  • Salt to your taste or special diet

Preparation

For the rub, place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well to a smooth paste then carefully rub into the salmon.

Then in a baking dish melt the butter until lightly browned then place the orange and lemon slices across the base of the dish and place the Salmon on top of the orange and lemon slices so the salmon fits snugly over the slices.

Then in a medium hot oven bake for 25 - 30 minutes so the salmon is flaky. Serve with the orange and lemon slices.

Comments: The orange slices should be served with the salmon.
