This oven-baked salmon with mayo, mustard and dill crust is the kind of recipe that makes you look like you have years of technique under your belt, when really it comes together in 15 minutes. The secret is this creamy, flavour-packed crust that protects the salmon flesh during cooking. It seals in the juices, lets the surface brown lightly, and releases a blend of double mustard, fresh dill and salted herbs that fills the entire kitchen with an incredible aroma. Perfect for a no-fuss weeknight dinner, an Easter meal or a dinner party where you want to deliver something elegant without being stuck at the stove all night.<\/p>\n
The French shallots sliced into rounds and laid directly under the fillet aren’t just there for show. They act as an aromatic base that flavours the salmon from underneath as it cooks, while also preventing the skin from sticking to the pan. They caramelize gently in the oven heat, turning confit, meltingly tender and absolutely delicious. Serve this salmon over basmati rice with roasted vegetables for a complete meal that impresses as much on taste as it does on presentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
