Baked Salmon Recipe
with Sorrel Sauce




Baked Salmon with Sorrel Sauce served with Baby New Potatoes.

Baked salmon recipes are a real favourite of mine and this salmon recipe with it's flavour combination of Salmon and Sorrel is a marriage made in heaven.

Salmon is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and it needs something sharp to balance the dish, and for this dish sorrel's distinctly citrus flavour is perfect.



Baked Salmon recipe with Sorrel Sauce: -

Prep time: 25 minutes - Cooking time: 15 minutes

Serves 2

2 6oz(200g) skinless fresh salmon fillets
3 tbsp of fish sauce (or soy)
1 lime, juice only
1 inch finger of fresh ginger, grated
1 garlic clove, grated
2 tbsp of sesame seeds
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

For the sorrel sauce:-

2oz(50g) of fresh sorrel leaves...
stalks removed
1oz(25g) of spring onion
5 tbsp(2½ fl-oz) of Low fat natural...
yoghurt (at room Temperature)

Take a suitable sized dish and add the fish sauce, lime, ginger, garlic and a little ground pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the mixture and allow them to marinate for 20 minutes, no more than that as the acid in the lime juice will start to cook them.

Preheat your oven to 200˚C/400˚F/Gas 6.

Helpful Hint : To test if your salmon is cooked, take a table knife and gently stick it in the thickest part of the fillet. If it meets resistance then it needs to be cooked further. Then place the salmon fillets onto a foil-lined baking tray and sprinkle them on top with the sesame seeds.

Then place them in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the fish is just cooked.

Try to make sure you don't overcook your salmon fillets, it should be served a little pink in the middle.

Meanwhile chop the spring onions into small rounds and briefly chop the sorrel leaves.

Add them to a food processor and blend until it resembles a rough paste. Then add the yoghurt and some seasoning and blend very briefly to combine. Check the seasoning and alter if required.

Then simply plate up the salmon when it's ready, spoon over the sorrel sauce and serve.
