Serves 10
Ingredients:
1.2 β 1.5 kg / 2.4 β 3lb salmon side (skin on, bones removed)
50g unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup YoPro High Protein Natural Yoghurt
1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
1 shallot (finely chopped)
1/2 tbsp lemon zest
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup slivered almonds , toasted (Note 3)
1/3 cup parsley, roughly chopped
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp pomegranate seeds
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 lemon slices for serving
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180Β°C
Place a large sheet of foil on a tray, then top with baking/parchment paper. Place salmon on paper, then fold up the foil sides a bit to cup them so glaze won't run onto the tray.
For the glaze, place ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it starts foaming, turn it down to medium, let it foam for 2 minutes then remove and pour straight over the salmon.
Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper, putting most of the salt on the thicker part of the salmon.
Cover salmon with a smaller piece of paper, then foil. Fold and seal up sides to enclose the salmon. Bake for 15 minutes
Meanwhile, make the yoghurt sauce by combining the yoghurt, dill, shallot, lemon zest, salt and pepper
Create the tapenade by combining the cranberries, toasted almonds, parsley, orange juice, olive oil, salt and pepper
Remove paper and foil and paper cover. Fold/scrunch paper and foil sides down to expose the salmon surface
Switch oven to grill on high. Broil 7 to 10 minutes until you get caramelisation
Use foil overhang to transfer salmon onto the serving platter
After the salmon has cooled (approx. 15mins - 1 hour). Spread with the creamy yoghurt sauce
Add the festive tapenade and pomegranate seeds.
Squeeze with lemon juice and serve with remaining slices/wedges.
