Background

Tender and succulent samphire goes really well with seafood and you don’t need to spice it very much as it has a distinctive, nutty flavour. This baked Salmon with samphire is a perfect example - super easy to make, yet it tastes yummy. Ideal for laid-back dinner parties.

Ingredients

100g samphire
2 wild salmon fillet
1 Tbsp vermouth or 2 Tbsp white wine
½ lemon, sliced
1 tsp good quality balsamic vinegar
Pinch of paprika or Cayenne

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Lay most of the lemon slices in a baking dish, then scatter the samphire over them. Drizzle with some oil.
Put the salmon on top. Rub with oil, then pour over the vermouth or wine.
Place two slices of lemon on top of the salmon, then dust them with paprika and season to taste.
Cover the dish with foil, then bake in the middle of the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Don’t overcook the fish!
Serve warm with side dishes of your choice.
