Easy salmon

Salmon is one of the easiest fish to cook and one of the most versatile. I adore it smoked, cut in to ribbons then stirred through creamy tagliatelle, or gently poached in white wine and served with wilted buttery greens, or perhaps hot from the BBQ covered in a sticky sauce made from equal parts golden syrup, ketchup, and a diced chilli. 

This is my easy Sunday night dish that I can whack in the oven and it's done in a jiffy. 

Ingredients (per person)

1 salmon fillet (skinned and boned), 1/2 red onion, 1 clove garlic, juice 1/2 lemon, salt & cracked black pepper, 1/2tsp ground coriander, chilli flakes to taste. 

Slice the onion and lay in the bottom of an oven proof dish. Lay the salmon fillets on top, scatter with finely sliced garlic, lemon juice, coriander, chilli and salt and pepper. Cover with tinfoil and bake in the oven (180 Celsius) for 20 minutes. The salmon needs to be just cooked through and slightly translucent in the centre. 

This can be served with a baked or mashed potato, fresh green salad or steamed vegetables. Super healthy, super quick and easy!
