Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C. First make the lemon butter sauce. Bring the lemon juice to the boil in a pan over a medium heat. Whisk in the diced butter, a little at a time, until melted and well combined. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly while cooking the fish.
- Drizzle a roasting tray with olive oil and cover with the fennel, dill, garlic and lemon slices. Place in a hot oven and roast for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the salmon fillet with plenty of salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over a high heat. When it’s hot, add the salmon, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp.
- Remove the tray from the oven, and place the seared salmon fillet, skin-side up, on top. Return to the oven and cook for 5 minutes. Serve with the lemon butter sauce, enjoy!
