Gordon Ramsay's salmon with Mediterranean flavours

No comments

Studding salmon fillets with little 'cloutes' of sundried tomato, basil, olive and garlic imparts some strong flavours and gives the fish a different character.

Ingredients

4 skinned salmon fillets, about 200g each
50g sun-dried tomatoes in oil, halved if large
Handful of basil leaves
50g pitted black olives
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Sea salt and black pepper
Olive oil, to drizzle

Serves: 4 Preparation: 10 Cook Time: 7 Total Time: 17min

Heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Place the salmon fillets on a board, skin-side down. Use an apple corer to make 6 small holes in each fillet.
Flatten the sun-dried tomatoes and place a basil leaf, an olive and a sliver of garlic on each one. Roll up and use to stuff the holes in the salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on a lightly oiled baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 6-8 minutes until medium rare – the thickest part will feel slightly springy when pressed. Transfer to warm plates and serve with a tomato salad and country bread.
