Directions

  1. . Pre-heat oven at 375F/190C/Gas5. Position rack at the bottom of the oven.
  2. . Prepare and line a medium-sized oven-proof dish with parchment paper. Place the Salmon piece, skin down.
  3. . Mix the wet ingredients and spread equally on both fish pieces. Sprinkle the crushed nuts for garnish.
  4. . Depending on the thickness of the fillets...bake anywhere between 15-20 minutes. A whitish surface foam will appear and it can be checked for doneness by poking it while feeling a little resistance. Make sure not to over bake.
  5. . While the fish is baking, the side dish can be prepared. Mix all the above (side dish) ingredients at once and then combine with the hot, boiled potatoes. Cover the mix and wait to serve it with the Salmon.
  6. . With a thin metal spatula, gently ease the salmon filet from its skin and serve with the side dish and enjoy.
