fresh parsley
2 tbsp
garlic cloves

olive oil
3 tbsp

0.5 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Finely chop the garlic and parsley. In a small bowl, stir them together with the olive oil and the juice from half a lemon to make a loose lemon-garlic herb oil.

Pat the salmon steaks dry and season both sides with salt. Heat a pan over medium heat, add the salmon, and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, brushing with the lemon-garlic oil as the fish sears.

If the salmon steaks are thick, transfer them to a 170°C oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily and the center is cooked through. Serve with any remaining herb oil spooned over the top.
