Oven-baked salmon fillet

It is a celebration. And I believe that during the holidays, you shouldn't spend too much time in the kitchen once the guests have arrived. That is why I always make dishes that I can prepare in advance.

Ingredients · Servings 4 people
  • 2 fennel bulbs
  • 500 g cooked red beetroot
  • 3 pears
  • 10 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 15 g dragon
  • 15 g lettuce
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 citroen
  • 1 salmon fillet (approx. 600 g)
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 oven dishes
  • fine grater
  • potato masher

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
  2. Remove the bottom and the woody top of the fennel stalks. Halve the fennel lengthwise and cut into slices about 5 cm thick.
  3. Cut the beets into wedges. Cut the pears lengthwise into wedges and remove the core. Distribute the fennel, pear, and beet over an oven dish.
  4. Stir together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and the mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  5. Finely chop two-thirds of the dill and tarragon. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Scrub the lemon and grate the zest.
  6. Put the finely chopped tarragon, dill, garlic, and lemon zest in a bowl. Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir.
  7. Grease the baking dish with oil and place the salmon fillet in it. Brush the salmon with the marinade and bake for 15 minutes until medium rare.
  8. Meanwhile, finely chop the remaining dill and tarragon and place in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, and 6 tbsp olive oil. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  9. Spoon some of the dressing over the salmon and vegetables. Serve in the center of the table.
