Simple Turmeric Salmon

Turmeric is one of the three spices I must admit to over using in my youth. 

I learnt early on not to roast vegetables with it because it gave them a bitter aftertaste.  This spice loves moisture and with that in mind, this baked salmon dish is not only simple but it is one of the tastiest around.

Ingredients:
  • baking foil, a piece two and a half times the length of your baking tray
  • 2 large spring onions, cut lengthways
  • 4 salmon steaks or portions
  • 1 lemon for its juice
  • An equal quantity of olive oil
  • half a teaspoon of salt
On your baking tray, lay your baking foil centrally.  Add your slices of spring onion to make a bed for your salmon.  Then lay the fish on top.

Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil and salt together and then brush the mixture over the salmon.

Bring the sides of the foil up so that the fish are in tight parcel.  Ideally allow to stand for about 30-40 minutes,, but not essential.  Preheat your oven to 160 degrees centigrade.

Place in the oven for approximately 15/20 minutes.

The fish should be moist, serve with a green salad or salad of choice.
