Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. In a small bowl, stir together the sumac, olive oil, and crushed garlic until you have a loose, brushable paste.
02
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon fillet, sliced leek, and chestnut mushrooms on the tray in a single layer. Brush the sumac-garlic oil over the salmon and vegetables, then season everything with salt.
03
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the vegetables are tender. For a lightly browned finish, place the tray under the grill or broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely so the garlic does not burn.
Chef's Tips
Cut the leek into even slices so it softens at the same rate as the mushrooms. If your salmon fillet is thin, start checking it after 14-16 minutes. Sumac has a bright, lemony flavor, but you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving if you want extra acidity.
